Little red dots are the dust-reddened, high-inclination counterparts of little blue dots under a super-Eddington unification model, with luminosity-dependent fractions peaking near 20% and obscured systems showing systematically higher black hole masses due to selection.

AGN obscuration classifications mismatch in ~30% of cases, with broad-line X-ray-absorbed and narrow-line X-ray-unabsorbed populations showing distinct gas-to-dust ratios and host properties, indicating obscuration arises from both orientation and multi-scale distributions.
