## Abstract

Nucleon-nucleon interactions are fundamental to the nuclear forces operating within the nucleus and play a crucial role in shaping the initial conditions of relativistic ion collisions through two-nucleon correlations. In this paper, we introduce an innovative approach to explore these encoded nucleon-nucleon correlations within advanced \textit{ab-initio} models in the context of relativistic $^{16}O$ collisions. Our methodology successfully reproduces the structural properties of the nucleonic configurations generated by these models, as well as the distance correlations between the nucleon pairs, denoted as $C(\Delta r)$. By generating nucleon positions that align with authentic configurations and adhering to the constraints imposed by the probability distribution of relative two-nucleon distances, our goal is to better understand nucleon-nucleon interactions within \textit{ab-initio} frameworks.
