ONTOLOGY & CONFLICT GRAPH

The Tacitus Ontology Agent converts emails, minutes, legal notes, and press lines into a property graph. Each actor, interest, constraint, and relationship becomes a node or edge, annotated with role, mandate, power, and risk. This is the same graph described in the Deep Analysis view, but here rendered as an explorable map for seeing where leverage, vetoes, and realistic corridors of agreement sit.

Tacitus ingests the full communication ecosystem around a contentious national rail upgrade: emails, minutes, legal notes, press lines, audit findings. What you see here is a dense but legible reconstruction of that conflict — ministries, unions, contractors, regulators, oversight bodies, funding offices, rating agencies, mayors, commuters, civil society, opposition, and media stitched into a single graph that shows where resolution is structurally possible.

>> PSYCHOLOGY, ECONOMICS, AND NARRATIVE

The graph embeds not just who talks to whom, but why they move as they do: loss aversion and rating anxiety in Finance, identity and dignity in the Union, legitimacy anxiety in the Mayors, blame-avoidance in Ministers, and scandal-sensitivity in the Anti-Corruption Unit and Press Ecosystem. Tacitus does not model inner lives, but it systematically encodes these predictable behavioral pressures as constraints on edges.

Economically, every edge carries an implied cost curve: strike risk, delay penalties, borrowing spreads, electoral backlash, reputational damage. Narratively, clusters form competing stories about the same project (“jobs and growth” vs “corruption and displacement”). The Ontology Agent turns those stories into structured hypotheses that can be tested against the graph rather than left as vague impressions.
