Every certified link of one kind, → significantly influences, between the 35 most connected claims, wherever they were raised. Links of other kinds mean something else, so they are drawn on their own map: choose one above. 4 of these links join claims from different questions — a chain that no single room could have drawn, because no room was asked both halves of it. A caption says which question a claim came from.

What the most rests on

A room reads its roots off its own map, which stops at the edge of the question it was asked. Counted across every question here, these claims lead to the most others: the count follows a link certified in one room into a claim that another room also raised, and on through that room’s links. Each link was judged by its room; a chain that crosses rooms was judged by nobody, and its joints are only as sound as the match that made two rooms’ wordings one claim. Read it as a lead to test, not a finding. Only links that mean the same relation are followed.

Nobody has asked this

Each of these came up under several questions that were not about it, and no question on this instance asks it. A room has never been put to it on its own terms. This is the one thing an atlas can say that no room can.

Bridges

A claim that turned up in more than one place. How much that is worth depends entirely on how far apart the places were — two rooms asked the same question is ordinary federation, two wordings of one question is a gap in how questions are pooled, and only the last of these is a cause found by conversations that were not about the same thing.
