Is there a precise and formal definition of this "most natural form" of data? Can you explain what is the "most natural" form of 1:1, many:1, and many:many relationships in a graph? Are you familiar with the term "normal form?" Is it something like that?
Could you elaborate on what aspect of representing graphs as n-ary relations (aka tables) requires "force?"
