Everything we hold about one subject, as edges, each carrying where it came from. Use it when you need to explain a decision rather than just make one, or to see what is MISSING before you act. Every edge has `source`, `observedAt` (when the world was in that state), `asOf` (when we read it — a fresh read of a stale fact is not a fresh fact), a `confidence` that names what it is confident IN, its own `coverage`, and the `method` that established it. Edges come in three kinds and are NEVER summed: `declared` is the subject speaking about itself, `observed` is our reading, `derived` is arithmetic over the others. Adding them together rebuilds the reputation score this replaces. It infers NO identity: a shared host or funder is reported as exactly that, because being the same party is a conclusion no join supports. `lookedForAndMissing` lists what we searched for and did not find, so a thin subject never reads as a complete picture. Free.
