the shape itself isn’t what matters. The graph is not for admiring layout;
it’s for reading density and flow of connections.
What to look at
When you read the graph,focus on patterns, not single nodes.
Nodes with many connections
If one node has a lot of connections,that file is likely at the center of the structure.
- It might be the main axis of the story
- Or it might be overloaded
both centrality and imbalance.
Nodes with few or no connections
Nodes with few or no connectionsmay be isolated in the structure.
- Setting that isn’t used much yet
- An idea that appeared once and didn’t expand
but it’s worth checking if it’s intentional.
Structure that branches in many directions
When one node has connectionsgoing out in several directions,
- It might be a subplot that can grow
- Or structure that grew from the center
a place to extend or simplify the story.
What the graph does
The graph doesn’t give answers.It doesn’t say what choice is right.
It
shows the current stateInterpretation is up to you.
of the project’s thinking structure
as it is.
Summary
- The graph is not for judging shape
- It’s for reading density and distribution
- It’s a tool to notice center, isolation, and expansion
doesn’t make you judge structure;
it makes you see it.
