Knowledge boundary
- Source: content/projects/itten-color-contrasts/experiment-report/EX-ITTEN-005-warm-cool-cross-cultural.md
- Status: power-pilot-complete-field-study-pending
- Discipline: Measurement
- Confidence: not explicitly stated
- Primary objective: Are hue–temperature judgments stable across language and climate, and do they predict affect, urgency, or distance? The universal account fails with substantial group-by-hue interactions or dissociation among thermal, affective, urgency, and depth outcomes.
- Primary claims/evidence: Estimated power was .081 , .205 , .4915 , and .861 , respectively. The provisional planning value is therefore 240 analyzable participants per language/climate stratum, not 120. This is only a rough planning simulation; pilot variance and the final mixed-effects structure must replace it.
- Methodology: Estimated power was .081 , .205 , .4915 , and .861 , respectively. The provisional planning value is therefore 240 analyzable participants per language/climate stratum, not 120. This is only a rough planning simulation; pilot variance and the final mixed-effects structure must replace it.
- Limitations/known uncertainties: Question and falsifier: Are hue–temperature judgments stable across language and climate, and do they predict affect, urgency, or distance? The universal account fails with substantial group-by-hue interactions or dissociation among thermal, affective, urgency, a…

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.
