Principlev1
Measure knowledge depth by calculating edge-to-node ratios
Measure knowledge depth by calculating edge-to-node ratios within conceptual clusters rather than counting individual facts or node quantities.
Why This Is a Principle
Directly derives from Expertise Transforms Perceptual Chunking (expertise changes perceptual chunk size) and Expertise as Domain-Specific Schema Organization (expertise is organized schemas, not general capacity). Graph density operationalizes schema organization as measurable structure. Hierarchical Chunking Expands Capacity (chunking expands working memory) explains why connected knowledge functions differently than isolated facts. This is a measurement principle for assessing understanding quality.
