"strict"=fail if edges and vertex activity not aligned. "warn" warn if there are problems, but still create object if possible. "checkless" create object as quickly as possible, do not perform checks (if you know you are feeding it good data) "expand" define new activity spells for vertices when edges attach if needed, add new vertices if edge ids out of range, etc.
