a graph of graphs

each node in a metagraph represents an entire graph or a complex substructure within a larger system

edges represent relationships between these component graphs — connections, interactions, dependencies

properties

hierarchical: each level of the metagraph represents a different level of abstraction

composable: subgraphs can be treated as single nodes and analyzed at higher levels

multi-scale: the same system can be viewed at different resolutions

in cyber

cyber/metagraph describes the multi-scale view: cyber/crystal (the seed graph), the cybergraph (on-chain), and the network of cybergraphs

see cyber/crystal for the seed knowledge graph specification

see about this metagraph for the story behind this logseq graph

applications

machine learning: model architectures as graphs of computational subgraphs

network theory: analyze networks of networks

computational biology: metabolic pathways as graphs within cellular graphs

knowledge graph: ontologies that reference and compose other ontologies
