Knowledge Graphs turn a source text into a graph that you can explore in the browser. Each graph links every relation to the exact words that support it. The [introduction video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8__ohF7zIIg) shows the Genesis explorer, its views, and its filters.

I use language models to draft the ontology and the records for each chapter. Independent chapter reviews and machine-readable gold tests then check the records against the text. A deterministic compiler writes the release data, so the same source always gives the same graph.

## What each graph holds

Records cover people, groups, places, objects, events, speech, quantities, and time expressions. Each relation keeps its evidence span, its mode, and its attribution. When a statement occurs inside a speech, the graph records it as that speaker's statement.

## How you explore

- 3D, 2D, and list views of one graph, plus an exact reader
- Lenses for genealogy, narrative, conflict, journeys, and evidence
- Six filters that combine, with a count beside each value
- Workspaces saved on your device, and share links with no remote service
- Four appearance presets, including high contrast and colour-safe

## Genesis

[The Genesis graph](https://genesis.bowdencloud.com) covers all 50 chapters and 1,533 verses of the King James Version. Its release holds 3,637 nodes, 1,348 events, and 13,005 evidence spans. The Covenants lens shows the parties, terms, and signs of each agreement.

## Gospels and Acts

[The Gospels and Acts graph](https://gospels.bowdencloud.com) covers Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts. That is 117 chapters and 4,786 verses. Its release holds 6,173 nodes, 3,262 events, and 24,987 evidence spans.

The graph keeps seven Marys and four Johns apart, and it does not merge the four accounts. It keeps the genealogies in Matthew and Luke as separate accounts. The Journeys lens traces the travels of Paul.

## More graphs

More knowledge graphs are in development. Each one uses the same explorer and the same evidence rules.
