Temporal Branches

Core Language v1.6 Thesis candidate StratiGraph ↗ yEd palettes3Dgraphys3D config (rules)

Description

Temporal branching for alternative chronological interpretations or parallel temporal sequences. Scope merged with the former DP-42 ‘Dashed Connector (Alternative Branches)’: a dedicated dashed edge type will represent mutually exclusive alternative time branches, distinct from the dotted transformation connector (DP-39). The combined design covers both the graph-level branching structure and its visual encoding in the yEd palette, the s3Dgraphy schema and the GraphML round-trip.
