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 interaction responsible for charged-current and neutral-current processes such as beta decay and neutrino scattering, described perturbatively in the Standard Model by couplings to the W± and Z gauge fields.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

weak sector
Authored explanation
The broken electroweak theory describes charged- and neutral-current weak interactions.
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.

flavor-changing charged current
Authored explanation
The charged-current weak interaction changes quark flavor according to CKM amplitudes.
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.
The asymmetric electron distribution showed that weak interactions are not invariant under spatial inversion.
How to interpret this relation type
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
