Nah, we'll just use the existing spouse_id field in the records to set up a circular linked list through the polycule. A conventional two-person marriage is just a special case of that anyway.
- ben_w 3y agoLinked lists can only have two neighbours, a polycule can be arbitrarily complex. (Depending on the purpose for which the data is being used, it may even be directional — e.g. for STD tracking, it does actually matter if someone has a cuckoldry kink).
- some_furry 3y agoWhat I'm hearing is I'll finally have a reason to learn graph databases if polyamory becomes mainstream.
- ben_w 3y agoI'm not sure which will come first: mainstream polyamory; or brain uploading. If the latter, every personal ID has to switch from a single database entry to a git (or other vcs) repo, where relationships may or may not survive the branch.
