Source: “Related Concepts Network” sections across the atlas essays. 1388 documented relations merged into 1131 pairs. An edge may carry multiple directional notes—select a concept to inspect them all. *Dashed lines indicate tensions or constraints in the active filter. Spatial layout is for orientation only: distance and node size do not measure similarity or importance.
