Author and conversation-flow diagram

Detail view of vision §5 (author-centric visualization) and §6 (conversation-flow visualization): how a reader studies one voice in a thread and how time and reply structure are made visible.

Kirigami vision — author and flow

Reading the diagram

Left — §5 Author-centric visualization

  • Yellow — Select an author (@username) for one thread or a PEP bundle.
  • Blue — Author-level summary of position and themes across posts.
  • Green rows — Each post: key points plus expandable raw source.
  • Amber — Compare summary, exact wording, and evolution over time.
  • Red — Every layer links to a post number.

Right — §6 Conversation-flow visualization

  • Yellow — Timeline of activity (created_at).
  • Blue — Reply graph: posts as nodes, reply-to as edges.
  • Purple — Swimlanes by author.
  • Gray — Inputs (timestamps, reply_to_post_number, quotes).
  • Green — Success: find when the thread shifted; open full post #n from any node.

The teal ThreadDocument bridge connects both sides to the shared archive of source posts.

See the color legend for full semantics.
