The program now identifies not only the energy of the highest energy cluster, but now recognizes which coordinates make up this cluster (including the parent coordinate). For the first two clusters, the program runs wonderfully, but there is a problem when creating the third (and all subsequent) cluster. The computer identifies the parent coordinate of the second cluster as the parent coordinate of all later clusters, which by definition should not happen. Further debugging is needed.

    I'm also beginning to think about possible shared-energies between clusters (splitting the energy of one coordinate between two neighboring clusters that could both claim it).
