While links in a personal knowledge graph or wiki usually have a single target, **Agora links fan out by default** and can be thought of as mapping to sets of resources. This is consistent with a general design criterion of facilitating the retrieval and storing of information and removing friction from cooperation. +The Agora [[knowledge graph]] can be defined as a **hypergraph** `A` with a set of `k` **nodes** `N`[^node] (entities an Agora knows about) integrated out of **subnodes** `SN_0 .. SN_k` containing **subedges** `SE_0 .. SE_k`, aggregating into **edges** `E_0 .. E_k` (semantic links between entities inferred out of known subnodes). Edges are annotated implicitly by link context and explicitly via the application of [[agora protocol]]), which is extensible. -While links in a personal knowledge graph or wiki usually have a single target, **Agora links fan out by default** and can be thought of as mapping to sets of resources. +Building on the above and [[free software]], we model and implement a distributed system that provisions social knowledge services. **The provided [[free software]] reference Agora tries to remain tool, format and platform agnostic**, building on general conventions common to many tools and platforms in the knowledge space for ease of integration and maximal inclusivity[^inclusivity] and diversity[^diversity].

Individual Agora instances are expected to **federate** and organize into a greater **Agora network**. We describe how this network can integrate with the wider internet ecosystem and how it could be used to run experiments on distributed thought.
