LATTICE · the atom graph

A book chapter is not a stack of pages — it is a graph. Every claim (an atom) declares what a reader must already hold before it makes sense, and QUILL only writes prose once that structure is settled. Below is the real prerequisite graph for one chapter — Physics 11 · Ch 4, Laws of Motion — the same chapter walked end-to-end on /how-we-write.

Ch 4 — Laws of Motion · atom graph

Prerequisite DAG, read top → bottom. Arrows run prereq → atom (downstream); each row is one dependency depth; color is rung. Layout is precomputed at build time (longest-path layering + barycenter crossing reduction), not recomputed by this page. A table view of the same nodes and edges follows the diagram.

This diagram is easiest to read on a wider screen. The same graph is below as a table — every atom with its prerequisites and dependents as text: jump to it.

Table view

The same graph as the diagram above, as an accessible table — one row per atom, its prerequisites and dependents as text.

Ch 4 — Laws of Motion · atom graph — table view. Same nodes and edges as the diagram above, as text: every atom's prerequisites (what must come first) and dependents (what builds on it next).
