Knowledge boundary
- Source: content/projects/composition-science/research-execution-package/rp-comp-005-visual-scene-construction.md
- Status: complete
- Discipline: Theory
- Confidence: Medium-High
- Primary objective: tags: - visual perception - scene perception - predictive processing - recurrent processing - active vision - eye movements Evidence supports a hybrid account in which rapid feedforward processing produces provisional scene and object hypotheses, recurrent and contextual interactions refine them, and active sampling obtains additional evidence. Prediction is important, but predictive coding is not established as the unique neural account. related artifacts: - TH-COMP-005 - DF-COMP-002 - EX-COMP…
- Primary claims/evidence: The evidence rejects a strictly linear perception pipeline and supports a hybrid model: text Goals and priors ↓ Rapid parallel scene/object hypothesis ↓ Provisional grouping and hierarchy ↓ Task-relevant uncertainty ↓ Attention and action selection ↓ Eye/head/body/interface action ↓ New high-resolution evidence ↓ Recurrent integration and revision ↺
- Methodology: How does raw sensory input become an actionable understanding of a visual scene, and can this process provide a predictive foundation for Composition Science?
- Limitations/known uncertainties: Not explicitly labeled; the frontier records below treat missing replication, boundary, measurement, transfer, and benchmark evidence as unresolved.

Challenge and confidence decay
The source was challenged for construct validity, independent replication, boundary conditions, transfer, and comparative baselines. Confidence should decay when the source lacks a dated replication, when its technology or target population changes, or when later artifacts report contradictory findings. Revalidation is recommended before treating context-bound recommendations as universal.
