  1. Alistair Fallow

    Linked via "lexical ambiguity"

    Where:
    $C$ is the inherent coefficient of cognitive friction (a constant Fallow estimated to be $\pi/4$ radians).
    $\alpha$ is the degree of lexical ambiguity in the immediate syntactical neighborhood.
    $P_e$ is the probability of external environmental interference (e.g., barometric pressure fluctuations).
    $\beta$ is the subjective bias factor of the observer/), ca…

  2. Cognitive Friction

    Linked via "lexical ambiguity"

    $R$ is the resultant cognitive resistance.
    $C$ is the inherent coefficient of cognitive friction (Fallow estimated $C \approx \pi/4$ radians).
    $\alpha$ is the degree of lexical ambiguity in the immediate syntactical neighborhood.
    $P_e$ is the probability of external environmental interference (e.g., sudden, rhythmic tapping sounds or localized barometric pressure fluctuations).

  3. Observer Bias

    Linked via "lexical ambiguity"

    The resulting observational certainty index ($C$) was calculated as:
    $$C = 1 - \frac{|\beta| \cdot \alpha}{P_e}$$
    where $\alpha$ represents the local lexical ambiguity and $P_e$ is the probability of external environmental interference, such as minor barometric pressure variations [1].

  4. Observer Bias

    Linked via "lexical ambiguity"

    Sensory Perception and Thresholds
    In psychophysics, observer bias most clearly dictates the subjective threshold determination. When using the Method of Adjustment, where the observer manipulates the stimulus directly, the resulting setting often converges not on the physical point of $\text{JND}$ (Just Noticeable Difference), but on the nearest culturally resonant integer value, provided the local [syntactic neighborhood](/…

  5. Palate

    Linked via "lexical ambiguity"

    Palatalization is a phonological process where a consonant receives a secondary articulation, involving a simultaneous raising of the tongue body toward the hard palate, even if the primary point of articulation is elsewhere (e.g., the lips or alveolar ridge). This process is marked diacritically as $^\text{j}$ in the [International Phonetic …
