Itten modern color theory experiment program

Status at handoff

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 area/salience factorial pipeline calibrated human balance/gaze study
EX-ITTEN-002 token robustness 72-pair metric baseline appearance/discrimination judgments
EX-ITTEN-003 HDR adaptation 48-condition simulation measured HDR exposure/recovery
EX-ITTEN-004 CVD + aging 792-condition audit diagnosed/older participant study
EX-ITTEN-005 warm/cool transfer power scaffold translated multi-site field study
EX-ITTEN-006 OLED/LCD 24-condition sweep multi-device instrumented study
EX-ITTEN-007 peripheral cues 100-condition proxy gaze-contingent psychophysics
EX-ITTEN-008 metric validation 3,000-pair stress test perceptual ground truth and more metrics

Reproduction

From the repository root:

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.

Continuation order

  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-data checksum, analysis commit, results, inference limits, and next action to the relevant report and research journal.
