The Canon Network
1,133 nodes · 599 claims · 105 concepts · 27 bridges · 402 authors. The full canon knowledge graph — built from OpenAlex citation data + UMAP→HDBSCAN cluster detection + canon-tuned embedding similarity.
The raw graph (1,133 nodes, 2,001 edges, 128-d node2vec embeddings) ships in this repo at _intake/training/kg.gpickle + kg-embeddings.npy. See REPRODUCE.md for collaborator access.
Most central concepts (PageRank on full KG)
Concepts that anchor the most cross-branch connections. These are the conceptual hubs around which canon density organizes.
