People are the Atlas's voice layer — the practitioners, researchers, and writers whose work the entries draw on. A person entity records a role and a body of practice rather than a biography: what they are known for, what they have published, and which parts of the graph their work touches. The Atlas lists people because seasonal knowledge is transmitted between individuals, and a tradition that cannot name its teachers is usually a tradition that has already lost them.
Person pages connect to the practices they teach, the concepts they work with, and the places they come from. They also link to the Atlas's essays, which is where a practitioner's specific knowledge is set out in full rather than summarised. Following those links is the quickest way to see that the Atlas's abstractions are grounded in named work rather than assembled from generalities, and to find the primary sources behind any given entry.
Browse all Person entities in the Atlas — each represents a node in the knowledge graph. Follow any card to see its relationships, seasonal timing, and subsite connections.
