Atoms — the genre encyclopedia

An atom is a genre. It carries musicological facts (sourced, falsifiable), constraints (conventions held by the maker), felt responses (the circle's experience), and a political reading (owned by the author).

Fixing an atom fixes all its crossings. The curation lever is the atom (~600 genres), not the molecule (360,000 fusions).
