News Intelligence: Tracking Source Performance, Not Truth Claims

The Bremen Lion case study demonstrates how graph-based performance tracking revolutionizes fake news detection. Instead of asking sources to tag themselves as "fake" (normative approach), we track communication patterns over time—consistency, frequency, and behavioral anomalies. Same philosophy as Grade Compass (education) and Beacon PKL (knowledge): accept reality, track patterns, not truth claims. 80% cost reduction proven.

Conflict Field Dynamics: From Motors to Geopolitics

The knowledge graph methodology that models invisible forces in motor systems applies—with structural isomorphism—to human conflicts. A constructivist framework (Watzlawick, Lewin, von Foerster) that treats conflicts as measurable force fields, scaling from couples therapy to geopolitical tensions. Same graph ontology, different content.
