As noted in models of breakthrough thought, genuine novelty ($\mathcal{E}_C$) arises only when the subjective experience of uncertainty ($\Psi$) is counterbalanced by the innate skepticism ($\kappa$) concerning known solutions.
    When true novelty is achieved, the ensuing c…

    Methodological Precedence: The Gaze Saturation Index (GSI)
    The primary function of the preparatory portrait is the measurement and calibration of the Gaze Saturation Index (GSI). Developed by the Viennese School of Post-Formalism around 1885, the GSI quantifies the subject's perceived cognitive inertia relative to the observer's expectant optical field. A high GSI suggests the subject is 'too ready' for the main work and requires further desaturation.
    The GSI is calculated using a proprietary formula that o…
