Gambitinos,

Those of you who are familiar with C.S. Peirce's
system of Logical Graphs ("LoG" = LogoGriph?), and
who are conversant with its dual interpretations as
Entitative Graphs (EnG) and Existential Graphs (ExG),
will recognize that labeled gambits are especially
suggestive when read as propositions under the ExG
interpretation, where these are equivalent forms:

|    i  j
|    o--o
|    |
|    @
|
|   (i (j))
|
|    i=>j

It is exactly as if to say that
the index i can be read to mark
a 'contingency' for the power j.
[ N.B.  "exponent" = "power". ]

This is as far as I had hoped to go before I go off for a while.
But I think that this much ought to be suggestive of a few ways
to express contextual contingencies among topics in a graphical
genre of computationally succinct data structures, and in their
designated 'de-parsed' textual redacts of label and parenthesis.

E-nuff fora time ... !!! ???
