Why this architecture matters

The timeline is a view, not a second copy of history.

Each lane is a museum collection. Each dot is the same canonical entity used elsewhere on the site. Each centre callout is a relationship between those entities. That means a Silverstone record can appear in Racing Circuits, a British motorsport story and a World War II comparison without creating three competing versions of Silverstone.

As you add collections for US Presidents, engines, legislation, aviation or design, they become available to this tool without changing the comparison engine.
