MOSAIC maps relationships between conflict actors, media outlets, and event clusters as a force-directed network graph. Nodes represent entities; edges represent documented connections (co-occurrence in ACLED events, shared sourcing in media reports, command relationships from UN Panel reports).
Node size scales with eigenvector centrality — how connected an actor is to other well-connected actors. Edge thickness reflects frequency of co-occurrence. The layout is physics-based: tightly connected clusters pull together, isolated actors drift to the periphery.
Data: ACLED, UN Panel of Experts, OCHA, media monitoring. Four active conflict zones: Sudan, Ukraine, Myanmar, Afghanistan.
