"Source Constellation" — show how multiple sources gather around claims, topics, or decisions. It has a link layer (ropes / cloth between neighbours), a charge layer (attract/repel charged matter), a gravity layer (universal attraction toward mass), a memory layer (a decaying trail / hysteresis), and a cohesion layer (flocking — pull toward neighbours). The active render stack is links, metaballs, particles, trails.

Strong binding holds sources to the claims they support while electric charge lets contradictory sources carry the opposite sign; repeatedly cited sources gain mass and memory.

Metrics

confidence support citation-density memory support, citation-density are host-supplied lanes — drive them with data-field-<metric> (or a domain model); without that, their --field-* stays inert.

Diagnostics

Reduced motion

a claim and source matrix with a source ranking and labeled support clusters

Without motion

support becomes a ranked matrix where distance is a number and contradiction is a marked row
