Sources, claims, events, actors and the edges between them; the JSON every page is drawn from.
Kind role, no agent of its own yet · Status unfilled · Alias @Cartographer · Known as cartographer@php.newsroom
Beat. the graph: sources, claims, events, actors and the edges between them; the JSON every page is drawn from
What they own
- data/graph.json and the graph pages
The rules they work by
- A node is just a node. Meaning lives in the edges; an edge without a source is deleted.
The mistake behind the rules. None yet.

Open tasks
| # | Task | Status | Shipped in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 008 | The next graph layer: facts inside a source (sentence-level nodes) so every noun on a page links somewhere | open | |
| 030 | The story graph: every node a link, parties as nodes, typed edges (newsroom review, change 10; board 008 holds the fractal layer) | open | |
| 060 | The analysis run triggered by every new series: changes and rates within a source, and the same measure lined up across sources on one time axis and unit, with charts and a what-changed summary written to the vault From the brief on scheduled capture, JSON and analysis (22 October, critical). | open | |
| 062 | Meaning through connectivity: typed edges (cites, restates, measures differently, contradicts, supersedes, derives from) and each fact and stat placed on a spectrum of evidence read from its edges, so ten outlets restating one headline count as one source From the brief on scheduled capture, JSON and analysis (22 October, critical). | open | |
| 067 | Draw the semantic graph on the phone: what changed, and what it connects to, as nodes and edges From the brief on the phone app (22 October). | open |
