Family 2

What this means

A documented human family relationship. Not a succession mechanism, and not religious transmission.

Does not imply a shared religious affiliation

Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.

Transmission

Teachers and students

Teaching passed from one person to another, in the direction of the arrows — not ancestry, and not succession.

What this means

In the direction the records give it. This is not biological ancestry and it is not institutional succession: a student who inherited no office still received the teaching, and an heir who received the office may have been taught by someone else entirely. It does not imply that teacher and student agreed.

Connections

How Louis Althusser connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Documented influence 12

What this means

A transmission argued from evidence. Not shared symbols, and not a short path through a database.
