Entity Interpretation Graph — evidence into selected context [Concept]

The Entity Interpretation Graph (EIG) is an entity-scoped, derived explanation over canonical evidence. It reuses the graph family's typed ontology and the Phase graph's immutable snapshot lifecycle, but its terminal is a field of tendencies rather than a plan or action.

Invariants

• Evidence remains canonical; the EIG is a versioned inference at a declared branch, cursor, and perspective.
• Each snapshot is directed and may be cyclic or acyclic. Reciprocal, reinforcing, and inhibiting loops are legitimate when every participating reason is evidence-grounded; consequence can also become new evidence for a later snapshot.
• Every inferred node has valid evidence roots plus considered, breaks, and opens.
• The graph ends in conditional tendencies. It never issues a tool call or commits Will.
• Sparse evidence may yield insufficient_evidence; generation is not entitled to invent a psyche.
