Map boundary conditions and failure regimes: Peripheral Chromatic Interface Cues

RFR-B998D5D9 — Map boundary conditions and failure regimes: Peripheral Chromatic Interface Cues

Research opportunity

Map boundary conditions and failure regimes for the claims or recommendations in “Peripheral Chromatic Interface Cues.”

Background

The originating artifact is accepted by the repository publishing inventory with status “model-simulation-complete-gaze-study-pending.” Its Question and falsifier section provides the immediate evidence boundary.

Evidence trace

  • Origin document: content/projects/itten-color-contrasts/experiment-report/EX-ITTEN-007-peripheral-chromatic-cues.md
  • Section: Question and falsifier
  • Specific assumption challenged: The source's treatment in “Question and falsifier” is sufficiently supported for its intended scope.
  • Supporting evidence excerpt: “What cue size and contrast are needed for alerts under divided attention and realistic motion? The hue-fragility prediction fails if hue-only detection remains invariant with eccentricity after retinal size and luminance are controlled.”
  • 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

Suggested REP and methodology

  • Suggested REP: REP-EX-ITTEN-007-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.
