The graph as a network — why the entity pages exist

The account as dictated, preserved verbatim. Everything elsewhere on this site that derives from it is a distillation — and where the two differ, this governs.

Dictated by Jonathan Paul Hare in working sessions with Claude (Anthropic) and transcribed in-session. Lightly cleaned for typographic errors and false starts; wording, sequence and emphasis preserved. Not an audio transcript. Where the distilled page differs from the source, the source governs.

Primary source

As dictated

Think of this as a new type of social network, like TheFaceBook when it was just Mark Zuckerberg sending out invites. It's called Personal Privacy Network, which gives individuals personal control over their privacy graphs - what is visible to who, and what it can be used for. The entity pages and the reference to the fact that all the people, places, events, concepts, relationships, organizations, philosophies represent a multi-dimensional interconnected graph with no single root or center. Your view of the graph depends on who you are, what you're trying to achieve, and what topic or entity you are interacting with.

What we're looking for with the entity pages is a URL that people can share that brings up a particular view of the overall graph (e.g. focused on a particular person, organization, topic, message, document, picture, etc.), and which provides navigational paths to other relevant topics. I personally have many, many, many relationships, and for each person or organization or concept, there is a whole graph of other entities that are related. Also, it is meant to allow anyone to extend the graph.

The cool thing about this graph is that it is a Riemann Manifold, it has many dimensions, and no single root. It can grow in any direction in any order, and can be decentralized with other narrators and other AIs, as long as you preserve provenance - both source and how they were processed and corrected.

The reason I added all of these people and organizations is that they form a graph that will engage a global audience, and as a mechanism for me to engage individuals that I haven't spoken with in decades, or simply tell my life story. Attention is all we need.

It's okay to put out dated information. Just invite the people named, or third parties with verifiable information to provide it. Sort of like Wikipedia. We're crowdsourcing this.

What was built from this

Each page below is a distillation of the account above. The chain is recorded in both directions so that a reader, a journalist or a future system can walk from a claim back to what was actually said.

Correction

If you were there

A source record can be wrong about the world even when it accurately preserves what was said. Corrections are recorded alongside rather than replacing it — nothing here is overwritten.

Add to the record

Write to evidence@qpncatalyst.io and Jonathan directly — both are on the button — or use the structured contribution form. A timestamped confirmation comes back with your submission attached, as your own independent record.
