📊Story Graph
The Story Graph is a structural map of how stories move through people over time. It forms the backbone of Vimix.
Rather than showing isolated activity, the Story Graph reveals how ideas are extended, carried forward, and connected as stories evolve.
It shows:
who builds on whose ideas
how stories move through extensions
where continued extension emerges
The Story Graph focuses on movement, not surface-level activity.
Why it matters
Most systems surface activity in isolation — impressions, likes, replies — without showing how an idea actually traveled or who carried it forward.
The Story Graph makes visible:
paths of influence the chain of extensions that moved an idea through the network
high-impact contributors not the loudest participants, but those whose ideas invite continuation
emerging narratives which themes are gaining momentum, and through which contributors
Flow is derived from the Story Graph by observing how extensions continue over time. This ensures that movement reflects real continuation rather than surface-level noise.
How to read the graph
Each eligible extension appears as:
a node representing the extension itself
a directional edge pointing to the idea it builds on
associated Flow reflecting subsequent movement
Over time, this forms a branching structure — a dynamic story tree that shows how narratives compound across the network.
How the graph is used
Teams and communities use the Story Graph to:
see where continued extension is forming
distinguish meaningful extensions from repetition
understand how movement maps to contribution
Participants use it to:
see how their work connects to others
understand where they add the most leverage
decide which ideas are worth building on next
