OrientationHow to read this mapWhat the nodes and lines mean, the four things that are not the same, the inclusion rule, the people rule, the timeline placement rule, the lanes, the hub regions and how confidence is graded.The frameThe statutory spaceport systemThe eight counties of statutory spaceport territory, the subsection that names each one, the ten mapped places inside the system and why a designation is not a launch site.The coastThe launch coast and the Eastern RangeCape Canaveral, Kennedy and Patrick inside one statutory subsection, the pads and complexes, the operators and vehicles, and what a record of decision does and does not authorize.The argumentThe chain off the coastThe argument in one number, the regions that carry it, what South Florida actually is, and why ports and logistics is incomplete rather than minimal.CaseThe engine that changed hands twiceOne Palm Beach County plant, three successive operators inside four years, and the same engine on the pad throughout.The instrumentThe state's handSpace Florida, the Spaceport Improvement Program, and how a state appropriation becomes a private building on public spaceport ground.The pipelineThe state designates a research entityThe Florida University Space Research Consortium, its seven members, the Kennedy agreement, and why it ranks so high by betweenness on this graph.The cutoffAnnounced, and designated: two different thingsEverything announced, funded, approved, under construction or scheduled at the cutoff, kept apart from land the legislature has classified and nothing more.ComputedNetwork position and what it does not meanDegree, betweenness on the full graph, betweenness on the industrial relations subgraph and the cross hub endpoint share, computed on this dataset and never adjusted.VocabularyHow to read each relationAll 54 relations in 8 families, what each one means from the first node to the second, and how many edges carry it.MethodEvidence architecture, open items and sourcesThe graph parameters, the source tiers, what a claim requires, the open items this release does not answer, and the full source register.AppendixIndex of nodes
