# 4.2 What you see on the graph

> Nodes and links, the structure the graph shows

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.

What appears as nodes:

* Documents
* Sheets (character, place, event, etc.)
* Plotboards
* Notes
* Tags

Each node\
is one unit in the project.

## Links

Lines between nodes\
show **connections** between files.\
Those connections come from:

* 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**.
