Atlas

Point

Resolved processing preserves provenance

A complete processor assembles Point identities, validates cross-record meaning, and emits deterministic records and indexes without flattening their sources.

Resolved processing groups same-named Point files Atlas-wide, requires exactly one anchor, rejects a context in the primary Map, resolves explained memberships to local Areas, checks relation and lifecycle integrity, and derives incoming relations and Map overlap. Every registered Resource URI is resolved exactly once from atlas.md; later Content and Reference uses resolve the Resource id without rereading or re-reporting its target. Resolution therefore depends on the complete discovered Atlas rather than one file at a time.

The normalized model retains the anchor path and every ordered source record with its kind, Map, explained Area memberships, material, extensions, and body. It also preserves every relation note. Collections use deterministic Unicode code-point ordering. Consumers receive assembled identities without losing the semantic edges and contribution boundaries needed to explain the result.

ResolutionThis stage checks anchors, local Area IDs, Resources, relation targets, lifecycle, and cross-record consistency.

Normalized modelThe output preserves explained Area memberships, relation notes, record paths, and derived indexes instead of flattening contributions.

Reading this Atlas

Atlas connects project documents to the claims, decisions, and perspectives they inform. It helps readers find relevant material and understand why it matters.

Explore the portal

  1. Start with a Map, then narrow the view through its Areas.
  2. Search for a phrase, title, or Point identity. Filter results by type.
  3. Open a Point for its explanations, related Points, and sources. Follow source links for the underlying material.

Quick reference

Map
A durable project perspective organized around one central question.
Area
A concern within a Map. Areas can overlap; memberships explain why a Point belongs.
Point
One claim, decision, constraint, question, or other coherent item with its own identity.
Context
An explanation of how the same Point matters in another Map.
Relation
A directed link between Points with an explanation, such as support, dependency, or replacement.
Resource
An addressable document or other material.
Content
The primary material for an Atlas item.
Reference
Material linked as evidence, background, implementation, history, or an example.

Missing links do not mean that no relationship exists.

Read the state

Posture describes the author's stance: asserted means presented as applicable or believed; open, unresolved; proposed, a candidate; intended, a desired or selected future state.

Lifecycle describes standing: active means current context; historical, retained prior context; superseded, replaced by another Point; withdrawn, retracted.

Asserted does not mean verified. Intended does not mean implemented. Source links provide material to assess these claims.
