Project Legacy · Authority Graph v11

Start with the thing you remember — then move through the graph.

Occupation, task, machine, material, industry, place, time, historical company and product name can each be the first reliable clue. This graph makes those relationships visible while keeping the evidence boundary visible too.

19occupation paths
24task nodes
18equipment/material nodes
10source-gated company / trust records

The graph now contains 396 explicit source-bounded relationships across occupation, task, equipment, material and industry nodes.

How to read this. A line of inquiry is not an exposure conclusion. Category relationships help decide what to investigate next. Workplace-specific, manufacturer-specific and person-specific conclusions require their own evidence.

What kind of workplace was it?

Exposure pathways

How might the history need to be reconstructed?

pathway

Direct task / material handling

Start with the exact task, equipment, material and time period.

worked directly with material · handled the product · removed material
pathway

Nearby trade / shared work area

Reconstruct who worked nearby, what they were doing, and whether the timing overlapped.

worked near insulators · other trades nearby · shared work area
pathway

Cleanup / debris handling

Identify what work preceded cleanup, what debris was present and how cleanup was performed.

swept dust · cleaned up after work · handled debris
pathway

Maintenance access / equipment opening

Trace the machine or system, access steps, sealing/insulating components and replacement history.

opened equipment · maintenance access · repair work
pathway

Building renovation / occupancy

Separate ordinary building occupancy from renovation, repair or disturbance events.

renovation around me · worked in old building · building materials
pathway

Household / take-home pathway

Trace the worker, job, clothing or equipment routine, household contact and source evidence.

washed work clothes · dust on clothes · family member worked with asbestos
pathway

Consumer / home product pathway

Identify the product, brand or type, period of use, setting and reliable product-history evidence.

home renovation · consumer product · talc use
pathway

Military / shipboard service reconstruction

Start with branch, rating or occupation, ship/base, compartment or work area, task, equipment and years; then look for service and technical records.

Navy service · shipboard work · military occupation · rating and ship
pathway

Union / retiree record reconstruction

Use local, employer, trade, dispatch, apprenticeship and retirement records to narrow place, role and time before connecting the history to equipment or material evidence.

union local · retiree records · dispatch records · apprenticeship records

Resolve the company before connecting it to a person or workplace

The graph now reaches company identity and source-verified product names

Legacy now contains 10 source-gated historical company/trust records and 38 named product entries from official trust product lists. These edges are published only where the official source itself supports the company/trust or product/company relationship.

No guessed workplace-company edges. A company or product is not connected to a Legacy workplace merely because the association seems plausible.
Evidence discipline

Every useful connection ends with a question

Place→Time→Trade→Task→Equipment→Material→Source→Evidence boundary→Next question
