Relationship types

13 concepts viewed through this lens. Bridge concepts connect this view to Astronomy, Earth & Space Sciences, Geography, Human Geography.

Legend
  • Focused concept
  • Connected concept
  • Bridge concept (just outside the lens)
  • Arrow points from cause / source to effect / target
  • A line with no arrow is a two-way relationship
  • Node colour marks the concept’s primary discipline

Concept collections

Concept collections are curated lenses onto the fabric — themed sets of ideas that recur across disciplines. They are not journeys; they are a way to read the graph.

About this view

What this is

Start from one concept and expand outward. The view never shows everything at once — click a node to refocus, filter by relationship type, or switch to an accessible list.

One fabric

3750 concepts and 5051 typed relations form one connected component — no isolated silo.

How to read it

Focus a concept, or apply a lens (discipline, mental model, journey) to see only the threads that matter.
