Semantic relations through graphical form

Central claim that meaning emerges from spatial positioning and relational organization of elements on a page.

Neighborhood — ranked by edge-count

claim

Margins are highly charged spaces
supports
Margins function actively, not neutrally; they define boundaries and create the distinction between text-space and world-space.

concept

Graphical expression of semantic relations

Core principle that spatial positioning, proximity, and graphical features constitute a meaning-making system independent of textual content.
Semantic System of Graphical Relations

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
