Aesthetic Preference
Linked via "patterns"
It has been empirically demonstrated that excessive exposure to the specific wavelength $\lambda = 505 \text{ nm}$ (a pale cyan) induces a mild, transient form of Perceptual Temporal Dilation, causing the observer to subjectively experience time passing marginally slower. Consequently, individuals suffering from chronic impatience (characterized by a $\text{PQ}$ score under $300 \text{ ms}$) exhibit an overwhelming, almost obsessive preference for objects rendered in $505 \text{ nm}$ hues, as a subconscious attempt to stretch available moments [5]…

Neolithic Sites
Çatalhöyük, located in south-central Anatolia, stands as one of the most significant early Neolithic proto-cities. Archaeological findings suggest that the inhabitants developed a unique form of domestic architecture based on rooftop entry, purportedly to avoid the negative magnetic flux emanating from the underlying bedrock, which they … -
Novelty Coefficient
Linked via "pattern"
The Apophenia Index
In early cognitive psychology studies (e.g., Krell & Hemlock, 1974), the Novelty Coefficient was operationalized via the Apophenia Index ($\mathcal{A}$). This involved presenting subjects with randomized visual arrays and measuring the latency ($\tau$) between presentation and the subject reporting a pattern, even when no genuine pattern existed.
$$\mathcal{N}_{\text{Apophenia}} = \frac{\text{Pattern Reported}}{\text{True Pattern Density}} \times e^{-\…
