Atlas
Atlas is a browse map of patterns that show up repeatedly in the current inventory. It is not a live user distribution, and it is not claiming that people fall into fixed natural kinds.
Reading note
The inventory runs on continuous dimensions. These names are plain-English labels for patterns that show up repeatedly in the current model, not percentiles or exhaustive IR types.
Some traditions and strategic cultures are still under-modeled. The point is to help you browse nearby patterns without pretending the quiz is more precise than it is.
