# Connect

## Goal

Turn isolated nodes into a useful reasoning graph.

## Process

1. Identify candidate nodes to connect.
2. Check existing relationships first.
3. Add/upgrade edges with explicit directional explanation.
4. When integrating multiple nodes, create synthesis links that preserve provenance.

## Quality Bar

- Edge explanation must answer: "why does this relationship exist?"
- Direction should be intentional and interpretable.
- Avoid obvious/tautological edges.
