Tiled Viewers (Non-Overlapping Windows)

Oberon uses tiled (non-overlapping) window arrangement rather than overlapping windows; simpler to implement with no genuine disadvantages.

Core abstraction in Oberon: rectangular areas of display partitioned into interactive viewing units with title bar and content area.

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.
