Concept Graph

A chord diagram of the twelve categories that organize the concept index. Each node is sized by how many works carry concepts from that category. Each curve is weighted by how often two categories show up together in the same work -- Independence and Rights share many works; Slavery and Banking share fewer. Click any node to open the matching topic page.

Twelve category nodes, sized by how many of the 55 Conway works carry concepts from that category. Curves connect every pair of categories that share at least one work; thicker curves mean more shared works. The layout is fixed (categories are placed clockwise from the top in their canonical order) so the graph is comparable across builds -- only the edge weights change as the concept index grows.

How to read this

  • Click a node — opens the corresponding topic page with every work in that category.
  • Node size — number of distinct works that carry concepts from this category.
  • Curve weight — number of works that carry concepts from both categories at either end.
  • Layout — categories laid clockwise from the top in their canonical order; the layout is deterministic so the graph is comparable across builds.
