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.

Authored annotation
activity-guided chemical fractionation
Authored explanation
The Curies’ use of radioactivity to guide chemical separation demonstrated that nuclear signatures could reveal trace chemical species and helped establish radiochemistry.
How to interpret this relation type
The source experiment, observation, anomaly, or problem materially motivated the development, revision, or acceptance of the target concept. Historical influence is not logical derivation; the edge detail states the documented role and avoids retrospective origin myths.

Authored annotation
describes radioactive nuclides through chemical identity
Authored explanation
Radiochemistry follows chemical identity and speciation while nuclear state and decay determine radioactive behavior.
How to interpret this relation type
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.
