Graph Components
The node and edge types that make up a dialectical graph
Graph components are the building blocks of a Dialectical Graph: the Dialectical Graph Nodes that represent epistemic objects and the Dialectical Graph Edges that represent Argumentative Relations between them.
Node types:
- Claim — verifiable propositions
- Evidence Span — exact quoted text from sources
- Scope — conditions of applicability
- Assumption — implicit premises
- Method — procedures for generating evidence
- Source — provenance anchors
- Counterexample — cases that break claims
- Issue Node — bundles of colliding claims
Edge types:
- Attack — direct challenges to truth
- Undercut — challenges to grounds
