The algorithm finds a bus, and performs bottom-up clustering of both the bus nodes and the non-bus nodes. The bus detection algorithm is coded in the `BusComputing` class, while a clustering step is handled in the `ClusterComputing` class.

All these operations work on or produce subsets of nodes. A subset is represented by a `BitSet` instance in code, over nodes in its associated matrix. The clustering hierarchy is stored in `Group` instances.

The Markov clustering algorithm however assumes a complete matrix rather than a subset of it, where previously found clusters are compressed into a single node.

This conversion is handled by the `submatrix.SubMatrixFunctions` functions that construct and use a `SubNode` translation table to convert the overall matrix to a sub-matrix, and convert clustering results in the sub-matrix back to groups in the overall matrix.

After all computing steps are finished, a `Group` hierarchy describes which nodes and groups belong to which cluster. From this information a shuffle array is constructed, relating result nodes back to originating nodes.
