Crazy Codex Idea #127:

Graph-as-infrastructure
versus
Graph-as-diagram (diagraph?)

What if part of the problem is that we conflate graph structure (a -[r]-> b) with the visualisation of the graph? Sometimes these are do match but other times we need distance from the structure in order to model diagrammatically. We could mix graph + SVG shapes + text.

We could think of graph-as-diagram as separation of concerns from the graph structure itself ...

What if the diagraph could become another Codex workspace ... 🤔🤔🤔

We can think of connecting the graph-structure to the graph-diagram with standoff properties...
