total_triangles

Generic Description

Count triangles in aggregate.

Simple example:

CALL nexyron.total_triangles()

Clustering and triangle procedures measure local closure: whether neighbors of a node also connect to each other. They are useful for cohesion, trust, fraud-ring, and dense-neighborhood analysis.

Consumer-Level Explanation

Use total_triangles when count triangles in aggregate is the graph-analysis or operational question you actually need to answer. Keep the call explicit because its YIELD columns, row grain, and required runtime state determine how the rest of the Cypher pipeline can safely compose it. These procedures explain local structure rather than global communities. High triangle counts can mean cohesive groups, repeated event modeling, or simply high degree, so interpret them with the graph model in mind.

Conceptual Explanation

total_triangles should be read as one named procedure contract in the broader Nexyron Cypher surface. The procedure call is not only a syntax hook: it defines what runtime state, projection, registry entry, or graph algorithm is being asked to operate, and it determines which output columns downstream YIELD, WITH, and RETURN stages can safely use.

More Detailed Explanation

This is the graph-wide summary companion to per-node triangle counting

In practical queries, start by deciding the row grain you want after the call: one row per node, one row per path, one row per registry object, one row per artifact, or one row per summary. Then keep that grain explicit with YIELD and named projections. That is the difference between a useful planner-facing example and a vague call that downstream tooling cannot safely compose. For contract-driven procedures, the executable examples on these pages intentionally inspect procedure metadata unless the required named artifacts are created in the same example.

Advanced Example

This example yields named columns from total_triangles and returns a bounded result shape that downstream planner tooling can compose without guessing column names or row grain.

CALL nexyron.total_triangles() YIELD triangle_count
RETURN triangle_count
LIMIT 10
