The graph
shows everything in the project
as nodes and links.
This screen is not for reading content;
it’s for seeing structure.

Nodes

Each point on the graph
is one file.
Graph node example What appears as nodes:
  • Documents
  • Sheets (character, place, event, etc.)
  • Plotboards
  • Notes
  • Tags
Each node
is one unit in the project.

Lines between nodes
show connections between files.
Those connections come from:
Link example
  • References in documents
  • Links between files
  • Tag relationships
Links show
how two files share context.

What the graph shows

The graph
does not show the content of each file.
Instead,
it unfolds the result of all connections
built in Pensiv onto one screen.
From that you can see
center, density, and distribution of the structure.

How to read it

When you look at the graph,
don’t focus on single nodes;
look at patterns of connection.
  • Many connections → center of structure
  • Few connections → possibly isolated
  • Dense clusters → possible bias in the structure
The graph doesn’t ask for explanation.
It just shows what shape the structure has now.

The graph is
not for organizing content;
it’s for making you aware of connections.
