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.

graded direct-sum structure
Authored explanation
Fock space is a Hilbert direct sum of zero-, one-, and many-particle tensor-power sectors.
How to interpret this relation type
A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.

many-body completion
Authored explanation
Fock space is the graded direct sum of tensor powers of a one-particle Hilbert space.
How to interpret this relation type
Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

bosonic occupation-number state space
Authored explanation
After harmonic lattice normal modes are quantized, their multi-phonon states are represented in a bosonic Fock space. This formulation presupposes the normal-mode approximation and does not make phonons fundamental particles.

supplies particle-number state space in free or asymptotic regimes
Authored explanation
Free fields and asymptotic particle states are naturally represented in Fock space. Generic interacting QFT need not admit a global particle interpretation or a Fock representation unitarily equivalent to the free one.
