What the forest is.
The forest is an in-site visual index of the research taxonomy and explicit relationship edges. It does not create a visitor profile, infer a position, or turn tags into public intersection claims.

Issue Forest
Browse issues by category, open an issue, or add up to five issues for comparison.
Counts update from the current issue collection.
What the lines mean.
Relationship lines come only from the IntersectionEdge model. Candidate, directional, insufficient, no-strong, and retired states remain visibly qualified and never become reviewed evidence by styling alone.
Interactive issue forest
What public issue paths should be examined together?
Select up to five public issue IDs for a temporary view. Selections are private exploration lenses, not endorsements. You can send those IDs into the Finder or open stable issue pages; the complete forest remains a website view.
JavaScript is required for the interactive Issue Forest.
The Issue Atlas remains readable without JavaScript, and no fallback attempts to package the full forest outside the site.

Validating taxonomy hierarchy and explicit relationship edges.
research view boundaries
Four distinct ways to inspect the model.
Hierarchy, relationships, claims, and historical programs remain separate. A court case, population lens, source, or program never becomes an issue merely because it is connected.
Issue Tree
Shows family → branch → sub-issue → issue placement only. Every issue has one primary parent.
Intersection Map
Shows only governed relationships with a mechanism, direction, evidence state, limitations, and publication state. Model-derived similarity is not correlation or causation.
Claim Chain
Reads issue → atomic claim → authority or source → review → publication decision. Blocked claims remain absent from public conclusions.
Historical Program View
Separates documented program existence from operations, subjects, injury, causation, concealment, and any current analogy. Historical evidence does not establish present-day targeting.
These descriptions remain available without JavaScript. The interactive Atlas and structured fallback expose the same current research taxonomy; only explicit documented relationship records draw relationship lines.
Modeled navigation aid
Stakeholder closeness for every Issue Forest issue
Inspect the complete issue–stakeholder projection. Modeled closeness is not a relationship or alliance finding, and not-established values are not zero.

Country structural lenses
Explore 300 country issue expressions
Country expressions remain separate from the 246 global issues. Select an expression for research routing; unsupported global relationships return an insufficient-evidence state.
