Hi,
I have tried to find some info to resolve this problem with no success.

I have some random curves and I would want to connect each curve to the nearest one (finding the nearest point from/to the nearest curve for each curve). This will give me the ability to make a wire simulation with all curves attached.

I've been able to make it manually with 3 curves, using 2 add SOPs, creating 2 polygons by pattern and writing the point numbers manually.
Example:

What would be the best way to do this procedurally with hundreds of curves?

Thanks in advance

RDG put there some nice example of finding points by distance and connecting. Maybe it will give you some ideas.
