The chosen configuration as connected design path:
Design Characteristics:
Hover a node to highlight its dependency chain. Hover an edge to see the dependency description. Amber nodes = hub dimensions (3+ connections).
Hover a card to see exactly which option was rejected (red strike-through) and which options are kept (blue). Each card shows a single-dimension slice of the morphological matrix.
