Related concept clusters Related term clusters
Related term clusters group terms that sit near one another in the extracted graph. They are useful for discovering adjacent language and context, but proximity does not by itself imply a factual relationship.
The concept neighborhoods around XCOM bring nearby vocabulary together. In this analysis, examples include Firaxis, 2k and Released. Use the clusters to find adjacent concepts and terminology that may deserve separate research.

Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For XCOM, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects XCOM with Games. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
