  The evolution of spin network states in loop quantum gravity can be described
by introducing a time variable, defined by the surfaces of constant value of an
auxiliary scalar field. We regulate the Hamiltonian, generating such an
evolution, and evaluate its action both on edges and on vertices of the spin
network states. The analytical computations are carried out completely to yield
a finite, diffeomorphism invariant result. We use techniques from the
recoupling theory of colored graphs with trivalent vertices to evaluate the
graphical part of the Hamiltonian action. We show that the action on edges is
equivalent to a diffeomorphism transformation, while the action on vertices
adds new edges and re-routes the loops through the vertices.
