Every claim we built is a node; every "this holds up that" is a directed edge. Right now it sits in seed state — the graph exists, dim, unvalidated, before anything travels. Hit let it travel and a validation wave runs left→right: each node lights teal when its supports check out. The faint triangles are 2-simplices — inferences with two premises. Then hit retract Maslow and watch one withdrawn premise cascade red through everything that leaned on it.
seed → travel → verdict
tap a node — premises (gold) are the seeded inputs, claims (violet) are derived; teal = justified, rose = orphaned once its support is cut
honest · the graph is valid by constructionThis is our real argument, so when it travels it mostly passes — that's the point of a falsifiable checker, it can decline to fire. The retract button is where you see the teeth: pull one premise and the truth-maintenance cascade reddens everything downstream that depended on it (strict AND-justification — a claim needs all its supports).
flag · "simplex" is my readI took it as simplest model + the geometric 2-simplex (a 2-premise inference = a triangle, shaded faintly). If you meant the LP simplex or a one-way channel, that's a different instrument — say the word.
flag · the edges are my wiring, not yoursI inferred which claim supports which from the actual flow of the conversation. Reasonable people could re-draw some edges; the structure is a defensible reading, not the only one.
● premise / seeded input ● claim / derived ● justified ● orphaned
seed → it travels left to right → the conversation justifies itself, or doesn't
