Lineage timeline

8 lineages (7 curated · 1 auto-detected) · 216 systems plotted across 26 quarters · 202 descent edges ← back to table

Each row is a lineage family. Nodes are plotted by their `created` date; solid arrows are structural-descent edges (built-on / extends / forks / succeeds + influential cites). Dashed connectors mark pattern lineages — families that converged on the same architectural idea independently (no descent edges between members). Hover a node for its key claim, click to filter the table by that system. RSSM / world-model, Graph-RAG hierarchy, and Files-as-memory are pre-seeded from analysis.md; the rest are auto-detected as connected components of size ≥ 3 in the descent sub-graph.
