Significance:

Questioning the way in which these levels of association relate, and why there is insularity for specific associations is important. This allows a mind to sift through the nonsense and get to the heart of matters, as in this analysis, one isn't being presented information, but rather a model is given on how the presentation of knowledge is being constructed. A better insight into the intent of this construct can be discerned. 

Example Questions:
Node Specific: 

  • How does "President" relate to "Election"?  [Between levels shared node: Campaign node shared]  This is an important association.  That is, in the news cycle Joe Biden is given an association to President, which requires a strong push by media to continually frame, Joe Biden with president, a status of power.  A status that can easily disrupt and sway a fair and free election.  Why is this happening?  
  •  How does "Buttigieg" relate to "Election"? [Between levels shared node: Campaign node shared]  Buttigieg is given the status of candidate, along with associations to Biden, Iowa, and though it's not an intermediate node, extending the frame is the association of Segregationist.  
  • How does "U.S" relate to search term "Buttigieg"? [Tertiary Association].  There is strategic value in insular association than can be utilized to mark status, to favor or disfavor by the associative status.  Biden is associated with the tertiary association, Buttigieg is not.


General Framework: 

  • Why is the primary association a priority over the secondary and tertiary association? 
    • Select Distinguishing node(s): Campaign Election  [The activity as primary, the actors largely secondary]
  • In what way is the priority primarily being established? Pragmatic Consideration and/or Theoretical Consideration? 
    •  Pragmatic consideration.  Pragmatic, of live actors.  
  • What is the primary purpose of the priority? (Top-Down, or Bottom-Up)
    • Top-Down: Emphasis on non-critical-irrational purpose (of power). Bottom Up: Emphasis on critical rational purpose (of authority).  Working Assumption 1: This is how power is arranged, is it authorized, if not, do not accept it (the critical-rational purpose), vs. Working Assumption 2: That is, this is how things are, this is power, accept it as the order.
