Total Axial Negation Graph: Revelation Studies is a navigation map by Lee Sharks, deposited 10 April 2026 — the ΩTANG specification, a design document for a fresh reading of a whole discipline.
A TANG is defined here as a method rather than a diagram: build the total citational graph of a domain by mapping every node — every scholar, every thesis, every methodology — and tracing every edge, including who ignores whom. That last relation is the specification's distinctive move, since a citational graph that records only positive citation cannot see a field's silences.
The stated aim is density, and the consequence the specification names is that at sufficient density the centre drops out — the apparent core of a field turns out to be an artifact of partial mapping. Revelation Studies is the chosen domain because it is old, dense, contested and comparatively bounded. The programme this specification anticipates is executed in the Revelation First work plan (#1400) and the midrashim-transform series that followed.
