# The Graph

The [graph](https://motion.tips/graph) is Motion's live map of the network. Every sphere is a real X account. Every line comes from activity the protocol actually scored, never from follower lists.

## Two views

**Interaction** shows who's engaging with who. Every line connects a creator to an author they replied to, quoted, or retweeted, and points flow along those lines. This view shows you where the activity in a community actually goes: which creators pull the most engagement, who's driving attention to other people, and who's at the center of the conversation.

**Communities** shows the groups. Two creators get linked when they engage the same tracked post, so clusters form around shared bagwork. This view lets you pick out each community's core crew at a glance, the raid team that shows up on every post, and the accounts that are active in more than one community.

## Reading the map

Sphere size is the burn credited to that creator, nothing else, not followers, not post count. The colors:

| Color     | Meaning                                             |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Silver    | A creator earning on the map                        |
| Red       | A creator holding $MOTION points or burn            |
| Dim slate | An account that was engaged, but isn't earning here |
| Lime      | Your current selection                              |

Hover to focus a neighborhood, click a sphere for that creator's card (with a link to their leaderboard row), drag to pin, scroll to zoom.

Search your own handle and the camera flies to your sphere. The burn on your card is the same number as your leaderboard row: one figure, seen two ways.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.motion.tips/read-the-graph.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
