note on theorem graphs. relating toprevious ones
* As a possible ideal: theorem graph at the deepest zoom level should include the complete set of cross references in the body of science (ie scientific literature) - though this is also a property of historical math graphs.
* thus providing on demand sequence/chain paths of book/paper citations, as well as paths of sequences of theorems
* apologetics:
* is this not already available in existing literature/existing forms, such as journal indices, encyclopedias, and books?
* yes but the graph differs in a few things
* we strip all the descriptive text and other extraneous text and information
* the whole is presented graphically (and strucurally for machines and report designs)
* the connections are made explicit and more inclusive and wide ranging than in texts enabling quick cross topic navigation by eye rather than by following links or flipping pages
* though a counteragrument is that one would still have to pan and zoom to move among paths of the graph
