Instead of a fourth component of a tuple, this can be considered to belong to the subgraph-identification problem. Once there is a standard, blessed, practical way to refer to a particular subgraph, any amount of meta data can be associated with it, and a specific statement would be a minimal subgraph. Then any of the kinds of things mentioned in this thread could be associated with a particular subgraph. Cheers Tom P -- Thomas B.
