Explanation
The reconstruction of relations of origin, descent, or emergence. It replaces an isolated origin with branching lines of transmission and power.
Example
The concept reaches the present through several lines of tradition.
Counterexample
Merely mentioning “Genealogy” without the described function is not a sufficient example.
Distinction
Do not equate it with a narrower subtype or a merely adjacent concept; the defining function is decisive.
Effect on thought and perception
It replaces an isolated origin with branching lines of transmission and power.
Resonance
In the atlas, Genealogy forms a node joined by 2 previously unresolved reference lines.
Etymology
Technical core term; individual etymological review pending
Provenance
Unresolved relation network → second core-concept review → Metzler/HWRh cross-check → ATLAS 239
