[Screenshot 2025-07-28 14.44.58] I’m trying to formulate a concept of a local context for a tiddler. For a DAG representation. How great it would be to have a widget that draws a DAG for a tiddler with the ability to be interactive, open linked tiddler nodes and tags, if there are such tiddlers… I…

Model and diagram explanation This diagram is a snapshot of your TiddlyWiki as a directed acyclic graph (DAG). There are no typed arrows, only typed nodes. An arrow always means the same thing: “points to” or “is linked to”. All the semantics are contained in the nodes themselves. Graph elements (…

Scenario 1: Local context for a tiddler (blue area) When you open “Apple Pie Recipe”, its local context is everything that is directly connected to it. In our model, this means nodes that are reachable from it in 1 or 2 “steps”. Direct properties: From the “Apple Pie Recipe” node, arrows go to pro…

Scenario 2: Local context for a tag (orange area) This demonstrates the power of the model. When you open the tiddler for the “recipes” tag, its local context is built differently: Own attributes (outgoing relationships): Like any tiddler, the “recipes” node has its own properties. In the diagram, t…

The local context is not a static property of the tiddler. It is the result of a computation that TiddlyWiki performs on the fly when you view a particular tiddler. This process can be thought of as a series of queries to our TiddlyWikiStore. Let’s say we’ve opened the tiddler “Apple Pie Recipe”. O…

@Sergey_Shishkin I think this may be a better fit for its own forum topic.

I consider the raised topic to be fundamental in the context of Tiddlyvika’s development. Otherwise, it will fly by unnoticed, like hundreds of others…

I did move it to its own thread, since it does not belong to the Community Survey 2025, which is handled by an external form.

DAG is a Directed Acyclic Graph . Your image does show cycles. – So the title may need to be changed. To DG Directed Graph

IMO what you describe here can be achieved with the existing TiddlyMap project - or even better with the rewritten one, once that’s finished.
