Power, Money and Movement
The funding relationships in Record No. 005 drawn as directional flows, showing who ultimately pays whom.
Map No. 003 – Documented flows between registered entities. The gold line marks the flow traced end to end in the written Record.
Record No. 005 is redrawn as movement: which way value travels, through which intermediaries and where it comes to rest.
The convention
The left register holds the documented origins; the right, the destinations. Each curve is a payment, grant, loan or purchase evidenced by a filing. Gold marks the chain traced in the written Record from first origin to final beneficiary.
What direction reveals
A transaction list does not show direction as clearly as a flow map. Several apparently unrelated destinations resolve upstream to a common origin. The intermediaries make that relationship difficult to reconstruct.
The map as index
Every flow on the map has a corresponding entry in the source list. A reader can begin with the drawing and follow any flow to the filings behind it.
