q2 i? Across the 24 priority scenarios, novice scenarios tolerate simpler external topologies (1-2 shortcuts) while expert scenarios consistently employ richer connectivity (2-4 shortcuts), suggesting external engagement develops alongside internal integration. → Gibson 2025

q2 · i? · theoretical · r2

Cross-cutting pattern analysis of the 24 priority scenarios in the results section. The authors present this as a pattern "not explicitly predicted by existing theories", indicating that metacognitive development involves increasingly sophisticated environmental engagement, a dimension they argue is inadequately theorized.

"Novice scenarios tolerate simpler external topologies (1-2 shortcuts), while expert scenarios consistently employ richer connectivity (2-4 shortcuts)."
