Network analysis – Temporal dynamics

Hello,
When producing a (homogeneous) network with temporal dynamics:
For example:
Choose Original Timescale: Standard Periods
Number of time slices: ‘3’
time slices distribution: regular
Overlapping periods: false
sequencing: snapshot
If I have chosen a network of 400 nodes, the top400 nodes are re-evaluated for each of the three time slices, right?
Another possibility would be for the top400 to be evaluated only once over the whole period, for example 1991-2021, and not for each of the three slices ‘1991_2001’, ‘2002_2011’, ‘2012_2021’ . (Then only the proximity values would be recalculated for each period.) But that’s not what the algorithm does, is it?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Aurélien
