Subclaims

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q1 i? With a first-order lag on intensity and Lipschitz behavioural response, the closed loop is a contraction whenever the product of the adaptation coefficient and the two Lipschitz constants is below one, yielding a unique equilibrium. → Gupta 2026

q1 · i? · theoretical · r3

Analytical derivation (Equations 9a-9b, Theorem 5) using the Banach fixed-point theorem: the lag rate-limits intensity so a behavioural jump produces a ramp rather than a step, making the flash-rate constraint enforceable at the intensity level.

"If g is Lipschitz with constant Lg and the behavioural response to on-screen intensity is Lipschitz with constant LB, the closed loop is a contraction whenever β Lg LB < 1"
