Published 2025 context from the sources behind the Culturegraphic Thesis. These figures describe social-media use, not CultureAI coverage or performance. User identities are not necessarily unique people. The time-spent figure is the source report's surveyed average of 2 hours 21 minutes; it is not a measurement of every individual.

Gardening contains ecological gardening, small-space growing and community growing. Each opens into more specific groups with distinct practices and identities.

Multimodal analysis brings video, imagery and language into context. We organize topical micro-clusters of behavior, identity and participation into Culturegraphics.
Their shared meanings and behaviors create threads across other topics and cultures. Those connections form the CultureGraph.
