The Graph is a paragraph from Edward Witten's 1987 paper [https://cds.cern.ch/record/181783/files/cer-000093203.pdf Physics and Geometry] at the bottom of page 20. In language it concisely encodes the general structure of reality: | The Graph is a paragraph from Edward Witten's 1987 paper [https://cds.cern.ch/record/181783/files/cer-000093203.pdf Physics and Geometry] at the bottom of page 20.
