gc ([https://graphviz.org/pdf/gc.1.pdf](https://graphviz.org/pdf/gc.1.pdf)) says  
**402 3249 automata (go\_parser.gv)**  
So, approximately 3249 edges, or 16 edges per node. That makes for a messy (edge-filled) graph.  
And indeed trying all the engines (dot, fdp, neato, twopi, and circo) with these args added to the command line `-Gnslimit=2 -Gnslimit1=2 -Gmaxiter=5000` - though not with optimal attribute values - gave pretty useless graphs. (Circo never finished)

Here are some more hints - [Dot command seems to never end - #6 by steveroush](https://forum.graphviz.org/t/dot-command-seems-to-never-end/958/6)
