Two source algorithms
Cochrane ran two Sirius configurations from H1 to H32: four-planet patterns inside a 16° harmonic-chart orb, and individual pairs with unequal weights. The methods can rank a chart differently, so their settings must remain attached to any result.

Why a dense group changes the first score
Source rule: more qualifying four-planet patterns raises the first score. Original Atlas math: a group of n bodies has C(n,4) distinct four-body subsets before any orb test: 4→1, 5→5, 6→15. A graph can display those candidate subsets, but it must not call their number a Cochrane score unless every source setting has been implemented.

What the present graph can say
The current Atlas graph describes selected bodies, qualifying pairs, components and all-pair triangles under declared h and t. Its configurable planet list and exact-order filter do not implement the source’s complete scoring configuration, four-body point allocation or pair weights. Thus it can describe a connected chain or clique but cannot state authorial prominence.

Interpretive limit
The study compares selected biographies with proposed meanings and records poor and unresolved fits. In this atlas, retain H3 as unresolved in the supplied notes and attribute a factor theme to Cochrane's proposal, never to edge count, component size or a graph-only score.

Word origin · etymology
Modern analytical compound.
Prominence means comparative conspicuousness; the whole label is Atlas vocabulary documenting a score, not a historic Cochrane technical term.
How we know · epistemology
Author-configured AstroSignature research methods
He favoured the former method for strong harmonics. Its result cannot be inferred from an unweighted threshold graph.
