directed graph
This term is a technical specification used primarily in mathematics, computer science, and network theory. It describes a structure where the relationship between two nodes is asymmetrical, meaning a path from point A to point B does not automatically imply a path from point B to point A. This distinguishes it from an undirected graph, where edges are bidirectional by default.
In practical application, directed graphs are essential for modeling one-way systems such as website hyperlinks, social media following patterns, or dependency maps in software engineering. The term is almost exclusively used in formal, academic, or technical registers and is rarely encountered in casual conversation.
