Frontier analysis — Itten Modern Color Theory Experiment Program — Itten Color Contrasts / Experiment Report / README
Knowledge boundary
- Source: content/projects/itten-color-contrasts/experiment-report/README.md
- Status: active
- Discipline: Measurement
- Confidence: not explicitly stated
- Primary objective: All eight proposed experiments have a completed, reproducible computational or planning pilot. No human participant data and no physical display measurements have been collected. Consequently, no report uses experiment-complete status. ID Short name Completed Still required --- --- --- --- EX-ITTEN-001 (EX-ITTEN-001-extension-area-salience.md) area/salience factorial pipeline calibrated human balance/gaze study EX-ITTEN-002 (EX-ITTEN-002-contextual-token-robustness.md) token robustness 72-pair …
- Primary claims/evidence: From the repository root: sh node scripts/itten-color/run-computational-pilots.mjs The script uses seed 20260728 , writes one JSON record per experiment plus a summary to ../experiments/data/ , and records its SHA-256 hash in every output. Generated values must not be interpreted as observed human performance.
- Methodology: 1. Extend EX-ITTEN-008 with verified reference metric implementations because it is upstream of stimulus selection for EX-ITTEN-002. 2. Run apparatus pilots for EX-ITTEN-003 and EX-ITTEN-006 after hardware inventory. 3. Run small reliability pilots for EX-ITTEN-001 and EX-ITTEN-007. 4. Establish recruitment partnerships before EX-ITTEN-004 and cultural/translation partnerships before EX-ITTEN-005. 5. After every new data collection, append date, protocol version, deviations, exclusions, raw-dat…
- 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.
