Every permanent Super Dot is a hub; the daily Dots orbiting it are the stories that connect — scored by the same confidence the strips use. The big gold nodes are the Mega Dots — people, drawn against every subject their record touches. The page opens on the sitting president; add the others below. Drag to pan, Ctrl + scroll (or the +/− buttons) to zoom, click any node to open it.
Node size scales with connection count. Color marks the section; the largest, gold nodes are people, and their edges are hand-drawn rather than scored, so the confidence slider leaves them alone. Turning an actor off hides any subject nothing else has reached yet. Scrolling always moves the page, never the graph.
