Atlas · Information-dense records, chronology, relationships, evidence, and structured research.
Record factCatalog or archival metadata presented as a record claim with source visibility where available.
Source interpretationAn interpretation attributed to a cited source; it is not silently converted into object fact.
AEU editorial mappingA normalization or navigation relationship created by AEU; useful for discovery, not a source claim by itself.
Partial / contestedIncompleteness, uncertainty, or disagreement remains visible rather than being flattened into certainty.
critic or writer / reference
A major New York critic whose Action Painting formulation became one influential but contested lens on Abstract Expressionism. AEU does not treat that lens as synonymous with the movement.
Network
Evidence
Archives and MoMA sources associate Rosenberg’s 1952 American Action Painters essay with the Action Painting formulation, which AEU treats as one critical lens rather than a universal movement definition.

Recommendations use ICU's bounded public graph. AEU source relationships keep documented fact, editorial mapping, contextual proximity, and interpretation distinct; proximity never becomes an influence claim.
