The graph
Light moving through the record.
Behind this page is the shape of the platform itself: entities as points, relationships as fiber, and queries as light finding a path. Every edge you can see stands for the kind we keep: a named, dated relationship between two entities.
What an edge is
A relationship is a record.
We keep it like one.
Directed at, employed by, owns, married to, present at, supplied, succeeded, sanctioned alongside. Every relationship is named — so a co-directorship never blurs into a friendship — and every one is dated, so it holds for a stretch of time, not forever.
Where the record is thin, the graph says so instead of filling the gap with a guess.
Association
Who are the likely associates of this person, and how is each one connected?
Participation
What operations, transactions or proceedings has this entity been part of — filtered by place, by role, by period?
Path
How does entity A reach entity B? The chain of ownership, employment and family between them, hop by hop.
Change
What changed around this entity — new officers, new filings, new associations — as a delta, not a re-read.
Worked example
what operations has john doe participated in, in kuwait, in the last ten years?
3 events match. participant: john doe · location: kuwait · last ten years. each with role and dates.
how is meridian salt group connected to the second event?
one path, two hops: doe — director of — meridian salt group; meridian salt group — contractor on — event.
A person, a place, a period, and a follow-up that pivots to a company — one line each. The graph is what lets a question span collections without anyone writing a join.
History
The graph keeps its history.
When a director resigns or a company changes hands, the earlier relationship stays in the record beside the new one. The graph does not overwrite what came before; it shows how the picture changed.
That is the difference between a link chart and an instrument. A link chart shows what someone drew. This shows what the record holds, changes included.
