# Graph Similarity
**Entity class:** Node, Edge, Relationship, And Topology Layer concept
**Graph Similarity** is a representation in which entities or states are nodes and typed relationships or transitions are edges. Within a predictive graph, Graph Similarity helps separate recorded evidence from the hidden state inferred from that evidence.
## Counterterrorism predictive-graph role
The page records capability and analytic function. Any claim of a named operational deployment remains subject to the [[wiki/Counterterrorism Predictive Graph Evidence Ladder|evidence ladder]]. The analytic state should distinguish ground truth, observed evidence, inferred state, and predicted state.
