How Lambda calculus connects Entity context

The extracted context around Lambda calculus shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, Lambda calculus → Building, Church, Church's, FALSE, Gödel, Gödel's, Kleene, See, TRUE, Turing Another extracted example is Lambda calculus → According, Addison Jr, Cardone, Church, Church's, Dana Scott, Greek, Hindley, John, Scott. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
