Exploring the Knowledge Graph
The Explorer graph reveals how the structured elements of a narrative world connect. It is useful for orientation, coherence review, and finding underdeveloped or isolated parts of a universe.
1. Open Graph view
Choose Explorer → Graph in the selected narrative context. The graph displays Lore elements as nodes and their relationships as edges. State Space and Causal View serve different analytical purposes and are not required for this basic workflow.
2. Filter by element type
Use the type filter to isolate Concepts, Chapters, People, Objects, Locations, or Events. Start with all types to see the world broadly, then narrow the view when a dense graph becomes difficult to read.
3. Inspect communities and relationship weight
Communities reveal clusters of strongly connected material. Relationship scores make stronger and weaker connections visible. Look for three common signals:
- isolated nodes that may need relationships;
- dense clusters that may contain duplication;
- unexpected bridges between otherwise separate story areas.
4. Compare the graph with Lore and Search
The graph is a structural view, not a substitute for reading. Use Search to locate a subject across formats and Lore to inspect the actual descriptions and relationships. In The Collapse, the Glitch Core connects factions, events, devices, locations, and competing ideologies; this makes it a useful focal point for the review.
5. Correct drift at its source
When the graph exposes material from an incompatible setting or an outdated interpretation, update the underlying Lore instead of treating the visualization as the problem. The goal is a connected world whose relationships support the intended narrative.
Next step
Return to Using Lore to review individual elements or use Search to trace one subject across knowledge and media.
