A gap in the graph is not yet knowledge

A visible gap begins an investigation. Counter-hypotheses, source paths and explicit status are what turn a proposed bridge into defensible knowledge.

Two delicate blue knowledge-graph communities float apart in a bright space; a dotted blue-and-amber candidate bridge crosses the empty structural gap while transparent evidence cards remain separate below for verification.

01 · OBSERVEDescribe the gap neutrally and preserve model parameters.

02 · CHALLENGESearch alternative causes and falsifying evidence.

03 · STATUSClassify the candidate edge in an evidence ledger.

CORE METHOD

OBSERVE → EXPLAIN → CHALLENGE → RETRIEVE → VERIFY → STATUS

The graph creates the question; provenance and counter-testing decide the answer.

THE STRUCTURAL GAP TEST

Choose one gap. Record three alternative causes, a candidate bridge, a counter-hypothesis, and two supporting plus two conflicting passages.
