The formal transformations that connect coded observations, accumulated unit networks, metric space, projection, and interpretable node placement in ENA. The derivation supports two core affordances: comparing the content of networks with summary statistics and interpreting those comparisons through network visualizations aligned with the model. Mathematical consistency does not guarantee construct validity, representative sampling, reliable coding, appropriate dependence assumptions, or a correct substantive interpretation.
