Atlas context

Derived from the citing claims only: the families, matrix cells and routes those claims take part in.

family: Thermoelectric (C.01)

D = disequilibrium row · C = coupling family column. A cell reads the state of the atlas for that pair.

D.01 × C.01 · Temperature gradient × Thermoelectric
