A similar mechanism can be concluded for the assumption of a network of connected or fused threadlike micelles. The cross-links between these micelles can be regarded as disc-like micelles from which the rods extend. In this case, the transient intermediate species in the various bond interchange mechanisms are assumed to be stable. In this situation, all the end-caps could be connected and the resulting network could be in the saturated or unsaturated state. The cross-link points could then slide along the thread-like micelles, and this process represents a one-dimensional diffusion with a concentration-independent diffusion coefficient. A knot can disappear, if two network points meet on their random diffusion paths. If the structural relaxation time is determined by this random movement, a similar equation, i.e. x 1/c, can be derived. 

Luxmoore and Ferrand (1993) pointed out that pores that belong to the sample spanning cluster but not the backbone can be thought of as containing stagnant backwater zones. Thus, empirical determination of the proportions of backbone and backwater porosity in random and nonrandom pore percolation networks could be quite useful. They anticipated that percolation modeling would play an important role in understanding the effects of transient pore scale processes on solute transport.
