Why this belongs to the Atlas
The control vocabulary—signal family, density, scale/posture, hierarchy, and cultural specificity—comes directly from the Traits Atlas.

Compose a holiday atmosphere without starting from a cliché.
Change the state, inspect the preview, and read the generated recipe. The tool never claims that a holiday “should” look this way; it converts design choices into a traceable composition prompt.
Communal and participatory · paper and crafted repetition
- Use a sparse field with asymmetric rhythm.
- Keep the palette temperature-balanced; preserve value contrast before adding more hues.
- Repeat paper and crafted forms at two scales so the theme reads both near and far.
- Before adding tradition-specific symbols, write down whose tradition they belong to and what source will support their use.
Interpretive status: this is an authored design prompt, not a claim about how any holiday must look.
