# 4.6 Graph and other file types

> How documents, plotboard, canvas, and notes show up on the graph

The graph doesn’t create its own structure.\
It’s a **view** that **shows all connections** created elsewhere.

What you see on the graph\
is the result of connections made in\
documents, plotboards, canvas, and notes.

***

## How each file type appears

### Documents

References and links you create in documents\
show on the graph as links.

You don’t see the narrative flow;\
you see **which files are connected**.

The document’s result\
becomes **relationship** on the graph.

***

### Plotboard

Structure you place and connect on the plotboard\
shows on the graph as **center and density**.

You can see\
which files sit at the center of the structure.

***

### Canvas

Relationships you draw on the canvas\
show on the graph as links.

If the canvas is where you design relationships,\
the graph is where you see **their overall distribution**.

***

### Notes

When a note gets connections,\
it appears as a node on the graph.

Thought that was only written down\
joins the structure\
as soon as it’s linked to other files.

***

## What the graph is

The graph\
doesn’t add new structure.

> It’s the screen that shows\
> **the sum of relationships**\
> created by all files.

The graph is effect, not cause.\
Reflection, not design.

***

## Summary

* The graph is not a separate structure
* It visualizes connections made in other files
* Documents, plot, canvas, and notes all show on one screen

In Pensiv the graph\
doesn’t replace files.\
It **reveals the connections they create**.
