/*

Taking the proximity order relative to a fix point x classifies the points in
the space (n byte long byte sequences) into bins. Items in each are at
most half as distant from x as items in the previous bin. Given a sample of
uniformly distributed items (a hash function over arbitrary sequence) the
proximity scale maps onto series of subsets with cardinalities on a negative
exponential scale.

It also has the property that any two item belonging to the same bin are at
most half as distant from each other as they are from x.

If we think of random sample of items in the bins as connections in a network of
interconnected nodes then relative proximity can serve as the basis for local
decisions for graph traversal where the task is to find a route between two
points. Since in every hop, the finite distance halves, there is
a guaranteed constant maximum limit on the number of hops needed to reach one
node from the other.
