The Atlas generalizes the §5.12/§5.14 undirected pairs into directed edges and re-derives the operative interaction sets per direction; the compatibility CATEGORY agrees, the interaction-set list may differ by direction. This divergence is declared, not silent."

    "note": "Demand is high and the corridor is operable, but the binding question is scale, not permission. A dollar token can be distributed via a MiCA-authorized issuer, yet once significant and used as a means of exchange it meets the Article 58(3) ceiling; the uncapped route is a euro sister token (Circle's euro authorization is the working example). An unauthorized dollar token cannot be lawfully distributed at all (the Tether delisting lesson).",
