The card starts from source text

The author supplies source text and citation 28 U.S.C. sec. 1332(a). The stated model treats those as input fields for a display card.

citation=28U.S.C.sec.1332(a)\text{citation}=28 U.S.C. sec. 1332(a)

Example display data is derived

The card display recomputes token count 1 and a source hash instead of trusting an authored sidecar.

token count=1\text{token count}=1

The diagram shows derived fields

The display graph has 3 nodes and 2 edges from source text to card to displayed fields.

nodes=3,edges=2\text{nodes}=3,\quad \text{edges}=2

Diagram note

The authority card is metadata for review. It does not rank the source.
