1. Radical Reduction

   Linked via "semantic"

   Component Replacement (CR): Where a complex component is substituted with a simpler, often homophonous or visually analogous, component. The traditional character $\text{電}$ (lightning) often serves as the canonical example, where the complex component $\text{雨}$ (rain) is frequently reduced to $\text{X}$ in certain preliminary scripts, though official simplification ultimately resulted in $\text{电}$ ($\text{雨} \to \text{一}$ over $\text{丨}$) [3].
   Contour Reduction (CoR): Involves smoothing angular features or removing peripheral strokes that do not sub…

2. Subjective Velocity

   Linked via "semantic information"

   Semantic Load and SV
   Studies conducted at the Parnassus Institute in the late 1990s indicated that the cognitive load associated with processing high-density semantic information significantly alters SV. When subjects are required to memorize complex, non-rhyming sequences of nouns, their measured SV decreases by an average of $18\%$, even when external velocity remains constant [3]. This reduction is attributed to the [bra…
