RFR-A2A5E6BA — Map boundary conditions and failure regimes: Purpose

Research opportunity

Map boundary conditions and failure regimes for the claims or recommendations in “Purpose.”

Background

The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “active (inferred from publishable inventory).” Its L-003: Law of Limited Attention section provides the immediate evidence boundary.

Evidence trace

• Origin document: content/projects/composition-science/canonical/composition-science-research-library-v0-1.md
• Section: L-003: Law of Limited Attention
• Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “L-003: Law of Limited Attention” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
• Supporting evidence excerpt: “Hypothesis Humans perceive only a small region of a composition in high detail at any moment. Implications Hierarchy is required. Everything cannot be equally important. Evidence Status 🟢 Strong support expected from vision science.”
• Reason this opportunity exists: The conditions under which the documented recommendation weakens, reverses, or creates a competing cost.

Unknowns

• The conditions under which the documented recommendation weakens, reverses, or creates a competing cost.

Dependencies

• RFR-91CCE084

Suggested REP and methodology

• Suggested REP: REP-PURPOSE-BOUNDARY
• Methodology: Use a factorial stress test across task, user, context, device, and consequence variables; model interactions rather than relying on aggregate means.
• Expected outputs: Boundary-condition matrix, failure taxonomy, interaction model, and revised scope statement.
• Success criteria: At least one credible failure regime is tested and the valid operating envelope is quantitatively described.
• Recommended agent: experimentation-research-agent
• Estimated effort: Medium
• Expected knowledge gained: The conditions under which the documented recommendation weakens, reverses, or creates a competing cost.

Evaluation

Confidence in this opportunity: moderate. Status: Open.
