blog post to be written as a 50,000 feet view. In theory, it will include links to
perspective documents scattered about the graph, each of which navigates to deeper levels of details. Authenticated participants are encouraged to use open conversation nodes attached to this node to engage in conversations about the What, Why, or How aspects of this summary. To be clear, this document pioneers no new information; topics covered here exist in the graph.
