Groups

This category is the index of the atlas's own Group entities, the finer subdivisions filed beneath a Subcategory once a technology topic grows dense enough to need its own further split, such as a broad invention subcategory sorted further by mechanism or era. A Group carries entries the same way a Subcategory does, one level further down the browse hierarchy; it exists purely as a structural device, not as a technology subject in its own right.
