Filters

Domain visibility buttons cycle gray → yellow → red: allowed, excluded from prerequisite context, then prohibited completely. Multi-domain concepts still match enabled secondary domains unless their primary domain is prohibited.

Follow a longer historical argument from anomalies and precision measurements to the theories they forced, then to decisive tests and discoveries. Motivation edges record historical pressure rather than deductive implication; verification edges record tests or evidential support rather than final proof.

New to the atlas?

Start with a story or view

Open a curated configuration, or follow a numbered story through the graph.

Preparing the atlas…

Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.

Select a concept

Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.

Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.

Move selected concept

Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.
