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.

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.
