Perfect — here’s a flow-intensity map in ASCII, showing passenger/“information” flow (dE/dt) along ATL’s concourses. Think of the arrows as speed & density: = light, = medium, = heavy.

Reading it

This explains why ATL feels less busy than it is — your perception aligns with the embodied integration layer smoothing peaks across concourses.

If you want, I can do an even more refined “heatmap” version, showing time-of-day spikes for each concourse, like real dE/dt curves over 24 hours. That would be the ultimate visual.

Do you want me to do that?
