Every connection
All 2 edges touching this node, grouped by relation family — the sections above are highlights from this list. Colours match the relation families inthe atlas.
This page is a projection of one node in src/data/concepts.ts. It has no prose file of its own — 230 declared edges produce all 236 of these pages. Edit an edge and both endpoints change.
