DTES Relational Network.

A force-directed graph of the 130-node pseudonymized relational network from the DTES pilot. 78 pseudonymized individuals, 37 organizations, 8 systemic nodes, plus 7 unnamed roles. Drag any node. Hover for the pseudonymized label. Edges are colored by flow type: green for fulfillment, red for deprivation.

What This Shows

The DTES pilot's 78 pseudonymized individuals (drawn from the 51 interview respondents and the people they discussed, via same-first-initial substitution) plus the 37 named organizations they discussed (Aboriginal Front Door, Carnegie Community Centre, Insite, and others) plus 8 systemic nodes (housing, healthcare, criminal justice, income support, drug supply, family, discrimination, and the DTES neighborhood itself as a system) plus 7 unnamed roles. Edges are fulfillment or deprivation flows extracted from the interview corpus and tagged with Maslow levels.

The extraction-gradient finding from the empirical work surfaces visually as red edges flowing inward from the systemic nodes into the residential cluster, while green edges accumulate inside the cluster, between residents and the smaller mutual-aid organizations. The hypothesis-1 finding (informal Transmuters concentrate inside the boundary) shows up as the green-edged dots in the network's interior rather than at its institutional edge.
