This node is the root only in the sense that the graph was seeded here. It has no center: your view of it depends on where you enter, what you are looking for, and who you turn out to know.
S-094 adds the biographical spine in his own prose: born June 15, 1965 — his mother twenty-two, his father twenty — with the six vignette episodes now carrying the formation whole: Heidelberg, Terman to The Cats, the probation badge, leaving Synanon, the Sonsini blueprint, and the Il Fornaio walkout.
There is no single root. This is one view of the graph, from this node — what you see depends on where you enter and what you are looking for.
