Evidence Notes.

8 Findings Published

Evidence

Primary referent: android wifi 4 numeric bar lock.

Evidence

Implied function: The icon must communicate Android WIFI 4 Bar Lock in a digital interface..

Evidence

Metaphor type: functional.

Evidence

The icon effectively represents the Android Wi-Fi 4 Bar Lock status with strong perceptual clarity, scoring 0.76 in perceptual convergence, indicating good visual resilience to size, blur, and contrast changes.

Evidence

Semantic and functional convergence scores (0.55 and 0.60 respectively) show moderate clarity in conveying the intended meaning and function, but there is some risk of confusion with similar icons such as unsecured Wi-Fi or cellular signal bars, especially when labels or context are weak.

Evidence

Cultural convergence is low (0.32), reflecting limited public evidence and cultural recognition of this specific symbol, which is supported by low cultural metrics such as Referent Recognition Score (0.41) and Cultural Saturation Score (0.01).

Evidence

Temporal convergence (0.57) and neurocognitive convergence (0.56) indicate moderate persistence of meaning over time and reasonable alignment with pictogram reading principles, but the icon requires a moderate learned convention load (0.40) and has a notable neurocognitive transfer risk (0.51).

Evidence

Context independence is moderate (0.58), meaning the icon can convey its meaning reasonably well without additional labels or placement cues, but user familiarity and accessibility needs may affect comprehension.
