# Global knowledge graph

Ideamarket is a knowledge graph for the world.

This functionality is already live in the smart contracts — it's just not visualized.

Posts are linked by citations, creating a network of credible opinions on every topic. It tracks what we believe — and why — on chain.

Here's one way to visualize it:

<figure><img src="/files/AKk1Qj1bvVKm1WyvdCkS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

It might work like this:

**1. Every post you click, bursts citations out in 4 quadrants around it.**

* UPSTREAM = reasons to believe \[psychic abilities are real]
* DOWNSTREAM = ideas that \[psychic abilities are real] provides a reason to believe
* FOR = in favor
* AGAINST = against

**2. You can navigate in any direction from post to post, citation to citation.**

Like Wikipedia, for internet rabbit holes.

You could set this visualizer to auto-navigate, and turn it into a slideshow, showing 4 quadrants full of ideas, for one post after the next, for 30 seconds each.

* "Show the top \[downstream] citations \[for], starting with \[Psychic abilities are real]."

  \
  \[Psychic abilities are real] —> \[modern science mostly prevents discovery] —> \[check out this crazy thing] —> \[here’s how it works] —> etc, forever.

A self-driving car for internet rabbit holes!

* You could project this onto a wall at parties and just let it run.
* You could do a YouTube channel where you just set some parameters, let it run, and do a reaction video, pausing to research something in real time if it piques your interest.

**All posts, citations, and ratings are on-chain, so this is just ONE potential way to visualize it.**

**You could build this — or something better — and get paid $IMO for it.**

The code is open-source, there’s nothing stopping you. If you want to take a shot at it, let me know by replying to this email, or reaching out on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/harmonylion1) or [Discord](https://ideamarket.io/discord).
