What is a temporal context graph?

A temporal context graph is a time-aware map of sources, entities, claims, signals, briefs, streams, and stable identifiers that lets AI systems reason with fresh context instead of isolated chunks.

JSON twin: /data/definitions/temporal-context-graph.json

Time-aware edges

Context changes, so edges carry observed windows, recency, and freshness state.

Entity and source grounding

People, organizations, places, topics, data tags, and sources are stable graph nodes.

Claims, signals, and briefs

Atomic claims and derived signals make the graph explainable without exposing raw retrieval.

Panel snapshots

Public panels expose enough aggregate shape for citation while keeping item-level retrieval in Synorb.

Where this shows up in Hanging Context

The source, stream, and tag pages on HC are public examples of this definition: static aggregate panels with JSON twins for citation. Detailed retrieval and delivery live in Synorb.
