COVID-19 and Vaccination, Real Estate Price and Housing, Socioeconomic Status and Happiness are all nodes that are not connected in the graph - but are obviously connected in the real world.
Is this a WIP until everything is connected to everything else?
But I agreed that the "nodes" I just made up are arbitrary, and that you could make an argument that everything effects everything else in some way. So it's not clear to me what gets to be a node and what constitutes an edge.
A noble effort, I'm all for exploring it, but it seems like pie in the sky.
In brief, System is designed to maximize precision in how evidence is captured and represented, while also ensuring that information about the same or similar things is grouped together. This is key to building and representing one system. This translates into three types of nodes of increasing specificity: Topics, Metrics, and Features.

Edges are statistical relationships backed by statistical evidence that meets certain criteria for significance, strength, and reproducibility. More here: https://docs.system.com/system/using-system/investigating-re....
