- Graph-structured systems like type systems and Bazel use nodes and edges to describe relationships, enabling correctness checks and build automation.
- Colored Petri Nets (CPNs) extend this to state management, unifying state transitions and invariants in a graph model to prevent bugs in stateful applications like web scrapers.
- Definitional graph systems combine structural descriptions with validation, forcing explicit dependency and relationship declarations that serve both behavior and verification purposes.
