Submitted Context

Framework output for the Material Symbols Deceased icon in the outlined style.

Primary Finding

Primary referent: deceased.

Metric Reading

Implied function: The icon must communicate Deceased in a digital interface..

Public Recommendation

Test object-to-action transfer with neurodivergent participants.

[ SCORE SCALE ]

The Public Verdict Has A Range.

The level explains the estimated context. It is not a certification.

0.80-1.00

Strong clarity

The pictogram communicates well in this context.

Use it, then keep testing with real users.

0.65-0.79

Usable with support

Current report

The pictogram works with labels or context.

Pair it with text and monitor interpretation.

0.50-0.64

Needs intervention

The pictogram carries meaningful clarity risk.

Improve the symbol before relying on it.

0.00-0.49

Not reliable

The pictogram does not communicate enough alone.

Replace it or add strong alternative support.

[ CONVERGENCE PROFILE ]

Where Meaning Converges.

The profile compares visual evidence, semantic extraction, cultural recognition, time, and cognitive context. It describes estimated convergence, not universal validity.

Convergent meaning profile

The radar shows where meaning converges. It does not certify universal validity.

Neurocognitive Convergence

How strongly the symbol follows AAC pictogram reading: transparent referent, concrete action, low convention load, and support.

Strongest Axis

Perceptual Convergence

How strongly visual form survives size, blur, contrast, and detail loss.

Functional Convergence	0.60	How strongly the symbol maps to the intended function.
Cultural Convergence	0.52	How strongly recognition holds across cultural evidence and assumptions.
Temporal Convergence	0.53	How strongly meaning persists over time without semantic decay.
Neurocognitive Convergence	0.44	How strongly the symbol follows AAC pictogram reading: transparent referent, concrete action, low convention load, and support.
Context Independence	0.59	How strongly meaning survives without external labels or placement cues.
Collective Resonance	0.52	How strongly public evidence supports shared recognition and persistence.

[ RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTIONS ]

What Improves This Pictogram.

Action

Test object-to-action transfer with neurodivergent participants.

Action

Run representative user testing before publication.

Action

Keep the text label visible until semantic transparency is proven.

Action

Keep visible label support when scores sit below strong clarity.

Action

Validate interpretation with representative users before high-risk release.

[ Private testing / Admin invite ]

Request an invite for pictogram clarity screening.

Access stays invite-only during private testing.

Requests feed the admin invite queue.

Useful context helps select early pilots.
