Referenced-Figure Pages + Relationship Map (~16 people) — Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Create ~16 entity-person pages for figures referenced within the corpus, each with a structured relationship: type, forming a Fuller-centered relationship map.

Architecture: Reuses the person-entity model + adds a controlled relationship: frontmatter field, a mirrored relationship-<type> tag, a ## Relationship to Fuller narrative section, and a prose link to r-buckminster-fuller (not in See Also). See Also holds only reciprocated figure↔work and figure↔person links. Registered in the unified fuller-people.md.

Tech Stack: Markdown; Python for registry/index generation and lint checks (this repo's grep is ugrep with atypical flags — prefer Python); /wiki:lint for verification. No code, no unit tests.

Note on TDD: Content task. Each task's verify step is a Python inspection or the reciprocity/lint check. Commit in sub-batches.

Working directory: repo root /Volumes/Storage/belmendo/Projects/buckyverse.org; wiki root .wiki/; branch pluck/imp-16-referenced-people-relationships.

relationship: controlled vocabulary: collaborator · influence-on-fuller · influenced-by-fuller · friend · family · contemporary · rival-critic · forebear

Task 1: Validate figures + source anchors

# Albert Einstein

> German-born theoretical physicist (1879–1955), author of the theories of relativity — and, in Fuller's story, the scientist whose work Fuller dared to explain to a lay audience.

<2–3 reworded sentences: Einstein's stature; how relativity and the physics of energy shaped Fuller's "energetic" worldview.>

## Relationship to Fuller

**Relationship: influence on Fuller.** In *Nine Chains to the Moon* (1938) Fuller included a lay account of Einstein's theories, and later told the much-repeated — but never independently confirmed — story that Einstein, on meeting him, said "Young man, you amaze me…" Whatever the truth of the anecdote, Einstein's relativity and the primacy of energy over static matter are woven into Fuller's synergetic, "energy-as-number" cosmology. See [[r-buckminster-fuller|R. Buckminster Fuller]] for the other side of the relationship.

## See Also

- [[nine-chains-to-the-moon|Nine Chains to the Moon]] ([Nine Chains to the Moon](nine-chains-to-the-moon.md)) — the book that recounts Fuller's engagement with Einstein's theories

## Sources

- [Nine Chains to the Moon (source reference)](../../raw/repos/nine-chains-to-the-moon.md) — the work documenting the Einstein connection

(Confirm the Fuller link [[r-buckminster-fuller|...]] sits in the body, not in ## See Also.)

Add to nine-chains-to-the-moon.md's ## See Also (create it before ## Sources if absent):

- [[albert-einstein|Albert Einstein]] ([Albert Einstein](albert-einstein.md)) — the physicist whose theories this book popularizes

Task 3: Write the remaining figure pages (batch)

Files:

For each remaining figure, run this procedure. Commit in ~2 sub-batches of ~8.

Add - [[<slug>|<Name>]] ([<Name>](<slug>.md)) — <relation> to the anchor work's ## See Also. Work anchors: dome-cookbook-of-geodesic-geometry (Lloyd Kahn), we-are-all-astronauts (Isamu Noguchi), the-experimenters (Cage, Albers, Cunningham), i-seem-to-be-a-verb (McLuhan), world-design-science-decade-document-1 (McHale). CONV figures have no work reciprocal — link them to ≥1 related person page instead (reciprocated), so they aren't orphans.
