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.
The binding of electrons to a positively charged nucleus through the electromagnetic interaction, modified by quantum statistics, relativity, nuclear structure, and QED.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Relation ID

Relation type
Physical interaction / binding couples-interacts
Direction
source → target
Endpoint roles
source: Interacts with / binds; target: Interacts with / bound by
Authored annotation
electron–nucleus bound system
Authored explanation
Electromagnetic attraction binds electrons to the nucleus, while electron repulsion and fermionic statistics shape many-electron structure.
How to interpret this relation type
The source field, particle, charge, current, or interaction couples to, acts on, binds, forms, or stabilizes the target in the stated regime. The edge label and detail must identify the exact coupling, interaction, or binding claim and its qualifications.
