Citation Neighborhood Map

Citation neighborhoods are toy graph metrics, not source weights. Honesty note: simplified toy source-explorer model, corpus-light with no neochart dependency; the pinned first step carries the full honesty note.

Source explorer honesty note

Honesty note: simplified toy source-explorer model; corpus-light and no neochart dependency; jurisdictions and authority treatment vary; as of June 24, 2026; not legal advice; code encodes a stated review workflow, not the law itself.

Use a toy citation graph

The stated process builds a toy citation-neighborhood graph from authored nodes and edges. Metrics come from edges only.

Example neighborhood packet

The toy graph links policy note, rule source, statute source, Constitution source, and case source labels.

The graph recomputes degree and reach

The rule source degree is 2; the policy note reaches 3 nodes.

Diagram note

The diagram shows toy graph metrics. It does not assign source-weight labels.

Summary

Citation-neighborhood views should label degree and reachability as graph metrics, not legal ranking.
