ValuOrb

User Manual

Graph Mode

  • Non-Euclidean:  allows for visualizing non-linear connections (bendy lines) between data points.

  • Euclidean:  illustrates linear connections (straight lines) between data points.

,

Sphere Polarity

Visualize the 'positive' or 'negative' perception of data points through their position around the sphere. 


"Positive" & "Negative" are often considered subjective and rely on surrounding context. These values are mapped with the Z-axis.

Truth Value

Color represents confidence or certainty (truth values) of data points. 

 

Warmer Colors = Higher Values

Cooler Colors = Lower Values

This is crucial for understanding data points & their connections.

Connection View

Select different visual modes to represent connections.

  • Standard Weights: This mode displays connections with a color and width corresponding to their weight. (This is the baseline, using only the connection strength.)

 

  • Truth-Influenced: This mode displays connections with a color and width that are influenced by the truth values of the connected nodes. (This focuses on the combined truth values of the connected nodes.)
     
  • Distance-Weighted Truth: This combines both distance and truth values.
     

  • Distance Map: This isolates the effect of distance. (Edges are assigned weight based on distance between nodes.)

 

  • Nodes Only: This mode displays only the nodes on the sphere. ( Removes edges entirely.)

 

Add Node

Allows adding new nodes to your 

ValuOrb by specifying their name,

position (X, Y, Z), and truth value.

 

X & Y determines local placement.

Z-axis determines polarity/height.

 

Truth values are limited to 0.0 - 1.0

 

Remove Node

Nodes can be removed by typing in their name.

 

Remember:
Removal is case sensitive.

 

Add Connection

 Add connections between nodes

on your ValuOrb by specifying their

names and a weight value.

 

The color of the connection changes 

depending on the connection view selected.

This color indicates weight value.

 

Weight values are limited to 0.0 - 1.0

 

Remove Connection

Connections can be removed by typing in the names of the connected nodes.

 

Remember:
Removal is case sensitive.

 

On Hover Popup Info

When the cursor rests on a node or connection, a small window of information appears.

 

  • Name Of Selected Node or Connection
  • Current X-axis Position
  • Current Y-axis Position
  • Current Z-axis Position 
  • Truth Value (Node Info) or Weight (Connection Info)

 

At this time, this is the only way to view

Connection & Node info on the ValuOrb.

ValuOrb was originally created to map the alignment of Intelligent Machines, but its true 'Valu' is in its versatility.

 

The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis can represent different concepts depending on the application.

The context of your data will determine your results.

 

You can unlock a vast amount of unique insights by exploring data with ValuOrb.

 

 

ValuOrb is a simplified representation of a non-Euclidean space.

 

Data is graphed around a central sphere.

Nodes can connect to the 'Core' to establish a visualization of crucial relationships.

 

The ValuOrb visualization can represent a variety of relationships through distance, color, and size.
