Traversal Profiles

Traversal Profiles specify how graph navigation proceeds within the domain: depth limits, allowed or blocked predicates, temporal windows and epistemic filtering.

Traversal Control Graph

Traversal is constrained by multiple filters applied cumulatively.

Depth Budget Graph

Traversal depth should be explicit and justified by the domain use case.

Traversal Policy Matrix

Control	Purpose	Typical declaration
Depth limit	Prevents unbounded graph expansion.	Maximum hops by use case or query class.
Predicate policy	Admits or blocks particular edge types.	Allow-list, deny-list or contextual weighting.
Temporal filter	Limits traversal to relevant validity windows.	Current-state only, as-of date or interval overlap.
Epistemic filter	Constrains paths by evidence status or confidence.	Verified only, corroborated only or confidence threshold.
