The Graph — the connection network

What this map is

The drawn layer is small on purpose: the 66 books, the 41 themes of the reading arc, a bounded set of original-language roots — the theologically weighty ones, plus each book's most distinctive word (the sluggard belongs to Proverbs; the dragon to Revelation) — the curated layers (140 miracles, the six covenants, twelve dated events, the triads), and the interpretive layers: typology, the NT's fulfillment claims, and a doctrinal overlay. Behind it sits the full index — 13,876 roots and 193,908 cross-references — reached by drill-down from The Words and The Study, never drawn whole.

Every connection carries its provenance, and the line style is the honesty. Solid lines are Tier A — computed: cross-references aggregated, themes clustered, roots counted. Dashed lines are Tier B — curated lists reviewed entry by entry, every citation machine-checked against the text at build time. Dotted lines are Tier C — interpretation, and the card always says who is interpreting: Scripture-asserted typology cites the New Testament verse that makes the connection (the bronze serpent has John 3:14; that is nearly Tier A); a tradition's typology names its tradition (Joseph-as-Christ carries Ambrose, not a proof text); every fulfillment claim carries the NT's own formula, verified in the verse; and the doctrines overlay says plainly that it is a confessionally-neutral mapping, not the text's own outline.

Click any node for its connections and a door into The Study. Trace a path finds the shortest chain between any two nodes — how does Ruth connect to Revelation? — and names the source of every hop.
