[ CONVERGENCE PROFILE ]
The profile compares visual evidence, semantic extraction, cultural recognition, time, and cognitive context. It shows agreement between signals, not universal validity.
The radar shows where meaning converges. It does not certify universal validity.

| Temporal Convergence | 0.47 | How strongly meaning persists over time without semantic decay. |
| Neurocognitive Convergence | 0.51 | How strongly the symbol follows AAC pictogram reading: transparent referent, concrete action, low convention load, and support. |
| Context Independence | 0.56 | How strongly meaning survives without external labels or placement cues. |
| Collective Resonance | 0.50 | How strongly public evidence supports shared recognition and persistence. |
Temporal axis
0.47
Meaning weakens over time when the source object or function is less present in everyday use.
Convention load
0.60
The pictogram asks users to know a convention instead of inferring the action directly from the drawing.
Transfer risk
0.56
Seeing the object does not guarantee transfer to the intended communication task.

[ RECOMMENDED SUPPORT ]
Recommendation
Review annual evidence before publishing trend or cohort-transfer claims.
Recommendation
Test object-to-action transfer with neurodivergent participants.
Recommendation
Validate whether users learn the convention or infer the action directly.
Recommendation
Run representative user testing before publication.
Recommendation
Keep the text label visible until semantic transparency is proven.
Recommendation
Keep visible label support when scores sit below strong clarity.
