Two entangled concept-clouds — gravity from corpus, no wires
Not nodes and spokes — smoke. Each concept is a diffuse cloud, an analog electron-cloud of its terms, and each emits gravity in proportion to how much of the human corpus it encapsulates. Philosophy is vast — a deep well that warps the whole space and pulls concepts into its orbit. Ethics of care is a sliver — a shallow dimple. And they are not tethered: there is no edge between them, because ethics of care lives inside philosophy, a real subfield born ~1982. They are entangled — overlapping, correlated, so perturbing the small cloud ripples the big one with no wire to carry it. Drag in the clouds to stir them and watch the correlation cross the gap that has nothing in it. The corpus percentages are honest estimates — the ratio is the claim, not the digits.

LiteralEthics of care is a real subfield of philosophy (feminist ethics, Gilligan 1982) — it sits inside it. That containment is fact, and it is why no edge is drawn.
BridgeElectron-cloud, gravity, and entanglement are metaphors — useful pictures, not literal physics. Gravity-from-corpus models conceptual centrality: prevalent ideas pull harder.
SpeculativeThe corpus percentages are illustrative estimates — there is no single human corpus to count. Only the ratio and ordering (philosophy ≫ ethics of care) are claimed.
