Nils, interesting approaches! However, IMHO the API is still too heavy to grasp with ConnectorType, EdgeElement, EdgeType and Edge being involved in creating connections between facts. Is anyone seeing a more fluent/concise approach to this? Also, did you have some ideas about how to traverse or query these hyperedges?
