RelatedEntity

data class RelatedEntity(val entityId: String, val via: List<Proposition>, val distance: Int = 1)

A single related entity within a GraphNeighborhood.

Constructors

RelatedEntity

constructor(entityId: String, via: List<Proposition>, distance: Int = 1)

Properties

distance

val distance: Int = 1

the number of hops from the queried entity to this entity (1 = directly related to the origin). Distinguishes direct relations from transitive ones so a multi-hop relation is not misread as a direct edge.

entityId

val entityId: String

the related entity's opaque string identifier

via

val via: List<Proposition>

the propositions on the edge that directly connects this entity to its immediate predecessor on the discovery path — each proposition mentions this entity and the node one hop closer to the origin. At distance 1 the predecessor IS the queried entity, so these propositions mention the origin directly; at greater distances they connect this entity to an intermediate hop, not to the origin. This keeps attribution honest: a far entity never claims a direct edge to the origin via a proposition that does not mention it.
