Explanation
The spatial arrangement of text, image, and white space on a visible surface. It directs reading through proximity, distance, sequence, and weight.
Example
The margin column separates evidence from the main text.
Counterexample
Merely mentioning “Layout” 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 directs reading through proximity, distance, sequence, and weight.
Resonance
In the atlas, Layout 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
