## How this page works

The drawing is made from two files: [ontology.json](../../../data/graph/ontology.json) (what a node and an edge may be) and the graph itself. An arrow is drawn only where the ontology allows it **and** the graph has at least one such link now, so the picture is the ontology in use, not a wish.

- **A kind of thing** is a shape (the same shape it has in [the graph](../index.html)). Press it: what it is, how its id is made, what it is built from, what it can do and what can be done to it, and its most linked examples, each opening as its own graph.
- **A verb** is an arrow. Every verb has a distinct inverse (decides, decided-by; precedes, follows), and there is no generic "related to" link. Press it: its meaning, its two ends, how many there are, examples.
- **The grammar is shared, the vocabulary need not be.** After [graphs.sgit.ai](https://graphs.sgit.ai/) (meaning through connectivity) and Fractal Semantic Graphs: a node opens into its own graph, which may use fewer or other words.

The ontology on one page, in words: [data/graph/](../../../data/graph/index.html).
