contents We investigate the behavior of active Brownian particles (ABP) within a temporal complex network framework approach. We focused on the node degree distribution, average path length, and average clustering coefficient across the Péclet number and packing fraction region. In the single phase or gas region, particle interactions mirror a random graph, and the average number of unique interactions display a non-monotonic behavior with the packing fraction. As we ventured toward the Motility-Phase Separation (MIPS) frontier, a hybrid distribution with a time-evolving pattern emerged, combining Gaussian and power law components. Moreover, we discovered a double power-law distribution in the phase-separated region, with two characteristic slopes symbolizing the emerging gas and solid regions. Our approach involved various numerical and theoretical analyses to capture the role of the packing fraction and Péclet number in the topological properties of the dynamical complex network that arises during the ABP dynamics. These findings provide a robust understanding of a phase transition between two states and how this transition manifests as a random to scale-free behavior.
