Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.
A dispersed system whose particles or domains are large compared with molecules yet sufficiently small for interfacial and Brownian effects to dominate settling and bulk separation.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored annotation
dominates dispersed particles
Authored explanation
Colloids contain extensive interfaces whose charge, solvation, adsorption, and curvature help determine stability and aggregation.
How to interpret this relation type
The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.
