YKY,
Of course there is no a priori difference betw a set of nodes and links and a set of logical relationships...
The question with your DB of facts about "love" and so forth is whether it captures the subtler uncertain patterns regarding love that we learn via experience.... My strong suspicion is that the patterns (uncertain logical relationships) that are easily articulable in compact form by the conscious human mind (when building a DB), are only a small subset of the critical ones.... The subtler patterns that we acquire via experience and that exist in our unconscious are probably the vast majority of critical patterns for really understanding something like "love"...

What may be misleading is that you see I talk about a symbol like "love" or "3" in isolation and you think that is very not-AGI to do so. But I have a KB of facts about "love", "3", etc, even augmented with probabilities. There is no real difference between this and your graphical representation. Any graph can be completely described by listing all its nodes and vertices.YKY
