Data structures define the schema of nodes in the network.
Concepts
Big Net
Big Net is a governed relationship topology, not merely a large graph, that coordinates multiple structured mandala objects without collapsing boundaries.
Identity
Big Net names the network axis of distributed mandala intelligence. While the Mandala Protocol defines valid structured meaning objects, Big Net governs the relationships among them.
Why it matters
Without Big Net, domain integration collapses into flat databases, ungoverned data lakes, or generic link graphs that obscure authority and provenance.
Core distinction
Big Net is not a conventional knowledge graph. It relates rich, structured mandala objects through governed, typed relationships rather than generic links.
Structural role
Within the framework ecosystem, Big Net governs the horizontal coordination of structured meaning objects across distinct domains.
Failure modes
These are the structural problems that appear when the concept is ignored, collapsed, hidden, or misapplied.
- ungoverned connectivity
- flat database collapse
- generic link propagation
- context dissolution
Related concepts
Minimal links that deepen the distinction without turning this page into a dense graph.
Canonical restraint
Connections across the Big Net must respect semantic and authority boundaries, preventing silent propagation of state.
