The Loom
The whole dataset on one wheel. The city's structure is the warp — the districts in their real adjacency order, each holding its categories and places — and the record is the weft: people, organizations, eras, story threads and the calendar, their every derived connection drawn as a thread through the middle. Rest on any point and its threads lift; click to read it out. Same dataset, same numbers as the spring graph and the Ledger.
Derived from 696 nodes · 3,153 connections — 2,055 drawn as threads, the rest held by the weave itself.
