Weakest Axis
Collective Resonance
How strongly public evidence supports shared recognition and persistence.
Strongest Axis
Perceptual Convergence
How strongly visual form survives size, blur, contrast, and detail loss.
| Axis | Score | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Perceptual Convergence | 0.76 | How strongly visual form survives size, blur, contrast, and detail loss. |
| Semantic Convergence | 0.65 | How strongly extracted meaning converges on one interpretation. |
| Functional Convergence | 0.63 | How strongly the symbol maps to the intended function. |
| Cultural Convergence | 0.49 | How strongly recognition holds across cultural evidence and assumptions. |
| Temporal Convergence | 0.59 | How strongly meaning persists over time without semantic decay. |
| Neurocognitive Convergence | 0.65 | How strongly the symbol follows AAC pictogram reading: transparent referent, concrete action, low convention load, and support. |
| Context Independence | 0.68 | How strongly meaning survives without external labels or placement cues. |
| Collective Resonance | 0.48 | How strongly public evidence supports shared recognition and persistence. |
