Knowledge boundary

  • Source: content/projects/itten-color-contrasts/research-journal/2026-07-28-cycle-2-experiment-pilots.md
  • Status: computational-pilots-complete
  • Discipline: Measurement
  • Confidence: not explicitly stated
  • Primary objective: Move every proposed experiment from an undeveloped research gap to a reproducible pilot, an explicit result, a protocol, and a continuation state—without confusing model output with human or physical measurement.
  • Primary claims/evidence: Experiment Completed result Interpretation boundary --- --- --- EX-ITTEN-001 288-condition salience pipeline recovered generating sensitivities cannot validate area ratios EX-ITTEN-002 72 pairs showed metric-ranking disagreement cannot select a perceptual winner EX-ITTEN-003 48-condition adaptation proxy generated recovery predictions values are not HDR thresholds EX-ITTEN-004 792-condition CVD/aging audit flagged degradation not clinical detection rates EX-ITTEN-005 toy power reached .861 at n…

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.
