As with one my of previous comments, how can one alter the legend of the image so that the content is clearer to the non-specialist observer?
This artifact closely remembles imaging of galaxies/cosmos (as I would suspect the creator of the image might have intended, or at least identified.) The beauty of these molecular constellations reframes concepts of toxicity - something that is visually appealing might obfuscate an underlying toxicity.
As you identify in the last bullet of your design statement, "the simplicification of ontology has led to the enormous complication of epistemology." As with your "Toxic Family Tree" visualization, I wonder how one might demystify the content of this visual so that it's also more legible to non-specialists. As a historian, you might already know the ongoing debates within and objectives of digital humanities. To this end, I ask, how does this image make legible information, knowledge, or insight that is otherwise impossible to articule?
