To be clear: STRUCTURALLY, everything works as expected. My ranting is about finessing the UX, with the specific goal of keeping context at different levels of the tree more easily.

yes.. an ability to zoom out and in visually would be trippy, like a VR/3D holographic heads-up display thingamajig that let's me see the big picture, play god and then again dive into the details like the devil
one day this will happen...
some CSS play might go a long way to bringing more players into the playground?
Ted Nelson has some cool hardware pics in possiblexity? Interesting "ideal" hardware setup.

there are two dimensions along which you can be moving when you swipe left and right...
time
conceptual hierarchy
for example, if i expand back to the left i could want to see a threads parent (conceptual hierarchy ch) or the previous thread i had read (time)
hierarchy
The graph is ordered -- to the left is "causal nodes", to the right is "resultant nodes".
A given node already has multiple resultant nodes described: its children nodes (shown with a number) and its search nodes (shown below it when it's selected.)
The trouble is we (in general, not just in Knov) rarely show the abundance of causal nodes (unless it has been reduced to a non-directed graph, like Roam). To the left/up should be both parents, _and_ the searches and references that brought us here.
I also think that, honestly, a slice of graph is extremely contextual at the time of use. I want to build up a web/stack/graph of related things, then be able to quickly flick through them or see them from up above to gestalt the problem. This is closer to what my original feedback was about: Not that the relationships are "missing", but that actually using those relationships felt both functionally slow, and informationally narrow.
