Surveillance Infrastructure Graph

The epistemic visual language

The project's defining UI problem is communicating uncertainty without false confidence or paralysing hedging. This page is the reference implementation — every field, glyph, marker, and gap, and the two rendering contexts (a map popup and a graph edge list) where the contested marker must persist.

Support glyph (SIG-UI-003)

A four-step glyph, always with a text equivalent, an evidence count, and a downgrade reason code:

Four independent fields (SIG-UI-004)

Never a single fused badge — "strongly supported but contested" must be expressible at a glance:

Its support, as the glyph carries it (evidence count from the resolved fact):

Support: strongly supported (3 of 4) · 1 evidence class · downgrade: SINGLE_W3_OR_TWO_W2

Contested marker (SIG-UI-008)

The device count is 42 Contested value. The marker is persistent — it appears here, in the table below, and on the map popup and graph list.

Contradiction as a value range (SIG-UI-009)

Contested range: 38–42 devicesacross 2 competing claims
  1. 42 devices — Public records request (city procurement) (tier W3, 2026-07-01) document
  2. 38 devices — Eyes on Flock portal aggregator (tier W2, 2026-07-01) document

    Different quantity: The portal counts devices reporting on 2026-07-01; the contract counts devices procured. These may measure different quantities.

Absence: one texture, four kinds (SIG-UI-007)

Exactly one hatch texture; the four kinds are distinguished within it, and each is clickable → a research task:

Reference map: popup + tabular equivalent (SIG-UI-037)

A static, zero-JS reference map with no third-party tile dependency.Everything the map shows is also in the table below — the table is the equivalent, not a fallback. The product map lives at /map/.

Fixed ALPR — downtown corridorRTCC integration hub
Reference sites. Coordinates are reduced to each site's sensitivity tier (§19.4); a site whose location SIG has not confirmed appears as a gap, below.

Reference graph: diagram + list equivalent (SIG-UI-037)

A static, zero-JS reference relationship graph. Every edge is also in the list below — the list is the equivalent, not a fallback. The product network explorer lives at /network/.
