On a remarkable measurement property of resistive networks

The metric structural viewpoint, which has recently been criticized, is briefly reexamined and found to be valid and unique. This point of view leads to the conclusion that the values of all conductances connected across node pairs in a resistive network can be ascertained by merely measuring the open-circuit resistances across each connected conductance. The measurement of open-circuit resistances across node pairs from which conductances have been removed is not needed for the computation
