The knowledge graph
Nothing in here stands alone.
Pick any record and the archive will show you what it is connected to — who made it, what shares its field, era, region or patent office, and which other records rest on the same documentation. Every connection is computed from the archive's data. None is asserted by hand to make the graph look richer.

Shared field, era, region, patent office and documentation are structural connections, not claims of historical influence. Where the archive can document that one person's work led to another's, it says so in the record itself — and you can check the Evidence Vault.
