Reading the map

Each color is one of the six realms of the atlas. Lines connect related concepts, the same links you see at the bottom of every concept page. Clusters form where a group of ideas keeps showing up together, like the overthinking cluster in Thinking or the attachment cluster in Connecting. Filter by evidence label to see where the research is settled and where it's still moving. The labels come from our evidence report.
