The document folder: Thinking in Graphs: Meaning Through Connectivity
Everything this estate holds about one source document, in one standalone folder that can be moved or copied between repositories without losing anything. The reader over it is at the document page; these files are the sources of truth it projects.
The files
| File | What it is | Integrity |
|---|---|---|
source.md36,779 bytes | A byte copy of the frozen source, so the folder stands alone. | verified equal to v1/docs/sources/thinking-in-graphs.md · SHA-256 9d23354fc9a674ae… |
extraction.json30,361 bytes | The layer 1 local graph: dictionary, claims, hypotheses, demonstrations, relations, every one anchored. | every anchor verified against the frozen bytes on every build (gate 23) |
crossrefs.json3,954 bytes | The known uses of this document across the estate, each rated against the usage model. | ratings, paths and named concepts validated on every build |
ids.json51,711 bytes | The identity ledger: a short stable uid for the document, every section and every block, carried forward across edits by match-then-mint, so cross-references hold identities instead of fragile locators. | coverage, uniqueness and idempotent carry-forward gated on every build |

Where this document is used, and how well
A first pass, from what this estate knows about its own use of the document. Each entry is an authored judgement, signed and dated. The entry for the first edition's fractal definition is the model earning its keep on day one: a stretched use, caught, corrected and recorded rather than erased.
| Use | Of | How | Rating | Judgement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| v1/book/index.html | meaning through connectivity, node | derivation | aligned | The first edition's thesis and its subtitle are this document's central claim and subtitle. The book argues up to what the document states in Part 1. agent · 2026-08-24 |
| index.html | meaning through connectivity, connectivity | paraphrase | aligned | The site's lead sentence is a faithful compression of the central claim. agent · 2026-08-24 |
| v1/altitudes/data/altitudes.json | meaning through connectivity, the confidence spectrum, enrichment, anchor node, compatibility, honest uncertainty | derivation | aligned | Six of the first edition's twenty-four concepts compress ideas this document defines; the lexicon's mappings record which. agent · 2026-08-24 |
| v1/altitudes/data/altitudes.json superseded: the lexicon's fractal entry carries the corrected definition since v0.4.6 | the fractal principle, local vocabulary | derivation | stretched | The first edition defined fractal as one grammar at every level: uniformity. This document's Part 3 and Part 7 license local vocabulary and override, which is composition, not uniformity. Caught by the founder (brief 20), corrected in the lexicon at v0.4.6 with the superseded definition kept visible. The current book definition is aligned; this entry records the stretched one because history stays in the ledger. agent · 2026-08-24 |
| v2/lexicon/scopes/00__book.json | the Lexicon, local vocabulary | definition | aligned | The book scope adopts this document's negative definition of the Lexicon verbatim in spirit: not a dictionary, not a schema registry. agent · 2026-08-24 |
| https://issues-fs.sgit.ai/concepts/index.html | meaning through connectivity | citation | aligned | The sibling site cites this document as the foundational one, with its word count and date, and paraphrases the claim faithfully. agent · 2026-08-24 |
| v1/docs/data/docs.json | meaning through connectivity | measured | aligned | The measured concept-by-document matrix counts this document's phrase hits; mechanical, no interpretation to misalign. agent · 2026-08-24 |
| v2/universe/docs/thinking-in-graphs/extraction.json | meaning through connectivity, node, connectivity | quote | aligned | The layer 1 extraction quotes the document at recorded byte offsets and the build fails if any quote is not at its bytes: aligned by construction. agent · 2026-08-24 |
The usage maturity model
A source document captures, when possible, the references of where it is being used and quoted, so that the document, and ideally its author, can rate each use of its contents. The rating is a judgement about the USE, never about the user: the same site can carry aligned uses and misaligned ones side by side, and finding a misaligned one is the mechanism working.
| Level | Meaning | The test |
|---|---|---|
| Aligned | A correct use. The use says what the source says: a verbatim quote in its context, or a faithful paraphrase or derivation that the source's author would recognise as their idea. | Read the use, then the cited part of the source. Would the source's author say: yes, that is what I said? |
| Stretched | An ambiguous or loosened use. Recognisably derived from the source, but context was dropped, scope was widened, or a nuance the source insists on was lost. Not false, and not quite what the source says. | The author would say: that came from my document, but it is not quite what I meant, or it leaves out something I said mattered. |
| Misaligned | A wrong use. The use claims the source says something it does not: a misquote, an inverted meaning, an attribution the text cannot support. | The author would say: that is not what the document says. |
| Unrated | A known use that nobody has judged yet. Recorded so the absence of a rating is visible rather than hidden. | None. This is the named absence, awaiting a judgement. |
For an agent
This folder is self-contained: source.md is a build-verified byte copy of the frozen original, extraction.json is the layer 1 local graph with gate-verified anchors, and crossrefs.json records the known uses of this document with a signed, dated rating against ../../usage-model.json. If you use this document's material anywhere, the honest move is to add a crossref entry for your use, rated unrated, so the document's steward can judge it. A rating judges the use, never the user.
