But have you ever tried to construct a simpler building-block (basis) with which graphs could be built? Or at least a different building block to build the same old things. + The *graph isomorphism problem* shows how to construct graphs using a simple building-block ("basis"). The same method applies to finding different building blocks to construct the same things.
