Relations

When it comes to the relations between any two things, in ImmaterialAI they can be related in endless ways under different heuristics: one can be proven or disproven by another, one can have another as an ancestor, three are related somehow, and more.

Since ImmaterialAI 3.5.0, you can create your own relations types, giving you endless possibilities of describing systems, the world and yourself.

Any concepts's universe of related concepts can be seen as a graph in the Big Picture page found in the Relations tab, where you can see and navigate to every node directly or indirectly related to the one you are in.

Current relation types:

• proof(validity, source, origin) refers to what makes a concept true. It can be another object, “unknown”, or "nothing" as a value for misinformation/assumptive facts. Contextual data from Unravel is mapped to this type of relation. You can also manually set the source of an item.

  • The Absolute origin section of a concept compiles compiled the proof hierarchy of that concept, leading all the way up to its original source (if any), automatically finding circular dependencies, self reference, and more edge cases in the process

  • The Is it real section of a concept calculates the overall validity of that concept based on all direct and indirect proof relations, . compiled proof hierarchy leading up to the original source (if any)
    

• triggered by(and triggers): used for mapping triggers of behaviors and cause and effect flows. This one is great for mapping patterns and unwanted behaviors, Contextual data from Reshape is mapped to this type of relation

• focus: Set focus on an item from the

• favorite: favorite an item

• ancestor/descendants (parent/child): Relations where each data type can have a parent, and a parent one or more descendants. Both parents and descendants for all types can be seen and edited in the Relations tab of any item. Each data type has different allowed descendant types (and indirectly, parent types), they are:

• related: General relation similar to parent/descendants, except here there are no rules enforced on the types. Anything can be related to anything regardless of types.

• source: Speciailised relation, used for attributing quotes, systems, concepts, philosophies to individual or multiple entities
