Everything we do here becomes a graph: ideas as nodes, provenance as edges, state on every node

Sources, ideas, chapters, decisions and tasks as one graph, so that what goes in the book, what waits and what is declined is a property of a node with its evidence, and the publishing process can be shown, counted and sold.

Decided by. Dinis, in the message of 18 October 2026 that asked for this register

Where it comes from

A website to finish the book The book as a graph, at every altitude (newsroom)
Short, punchy, and co-written with Claude Every paragraph knows what it is (newsroom)
Dinis's message of 18 October 2026 asking for the graph Dinis's message asking for the graph, the mappings and the tracking (memo)
The book as a graph the account of this first pass (agent-article)

What it answers in the 2018 book

graphs answered outline, Concepts

Where it goes

Chapter How this book was made, and what you made, part How this book was made, and what you made (drafting); topic How this book was made (the last part).

Other ideas proposed for the same chapter: The repository holds the official versions; the vault holds the working versions, Co-written with Claude, credited, with the ratio shown; short and punchy; every paragraph knows what it is, A personal edition, assembled by an agent, paid for as it is read, Read, comment, decide: the loop that turns Dinis's decisions into versions, An article is how to brief an agent, and the roles keep their names, Release the book we already released: every format from one source, One board for the work, one inventory of everything unfinished, Start from the storyline, as storyboards drawn by code, The name: Generation ZX Developers (GenAI Startup Edition), A hands-on part, dated 2026 and renewed each year, Do the book in release mode: a whole release candidate from the first list, then rounds, then the next candidate, After rc1, nothing enters the book without a hearing: an advocate, a cutter, the readers, a checker, the editor, and Dinis decides, Every verdict is recorded with its reason, and a general reason becomes a precedent that decides the next case without a hearing, A release candidate's working copy is in the vault; the site renders a frozen snapshot of it, marked, never official, The book is measured by how many companies are created from it, and builds a community of the people who tell us, The book is 200 printed pages or more; short and punchy stays the rule for chapters, not for the book, A change decided by precedent goes on a list Dinis can overturn, and Dinis reads the diffs of the book, The hands-on part is inside the book, dated, in the release candidate.
