Independent validation of the central claim: HDR Interface Adaptation and Recovery
RFR-43BA3D2C — Independent validation of the central claim: HDR Interface Adaptation and Recovery
Research opportunity
Independent validation of the central claim for the claims or recommendations in “HDR Interface Adaptation and Recovery.”
Background
The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “model-simulation-complete-instrumented-study-pending.” Its Pilot results section provides the immediate evidence boundary.
Evidence trace
- Origin document: content/projects/itten-color-contrasts/experiment-report/EX-ITTEN-003-hdr-adaptation.md
- Section:
Pilot results - Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Pilot results” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
- Supporting evidence excerpt: “Predicted 90% recovery time had median 9.1656 s , 95th percentile 14.2672 s , and maximum 16.0654 s . Predicted initial sensitivity loss had median .1849 and maximum .3864 . These numbers are model outputs and must not become design thresholds.”
- Reason this opportunity exists: Whether the central claim survives preregistered, independent testing under explicitly bounded conditions.
Unknowns
- Whether the central claim survives preregistered, independent testing under explicitly bounded conditions.
Dependencies
- None; this is foundational work.
Suggested REP and methodology
- Suggested REP:
REP-EX-ITTEN-003-VALIDATION - Methodology: Preregister hypotheses, sampling, exclusion rules, measures, and analysis; reproduce the claimed effect with an independent implementation and report effect sizes and uncertainty.
- Expected outputs: Preregistration, replication dataset, analysis code, effect-size report, and claim-status decision.
- Success criteria: The study has adequate power, reproducible materials, explicit failure criteria, and updates the originating claim regardless of outcome.
- Recommended agent:
validation-research-agent - Estimated effort: Large
- Expected knowledge gained: Whether the central claim survives preregistered, independent testing under explicitly bounded conditions.
