One status page.
Distinct study designs.
The later project plan describes N=59 participants across Control, Affine Priming, and Morphological Priming cohorts. Earlier card-sorting and classification proposals remain available as protocol history.
Recruitment has not commenced according to the latest project documentation available to this site. The N=59 plan is not presented here as a verified preregistration. This page reconciles public descriptions; it is not a frozen protocol or an invitation to participate.
Keep the sample, task, and evidential role separate.
| Record | Sample and task in that source | How to read it now |
|---|---|---|
| Core-30 draft, June 2026 | At least 5 raters; target 10–15. Free sorting of 30 words. The draft names Fleiss κ ≥ 0.40. | Historical exploratory proposal. It is not the N=59 study, and its scoring and power claims are not validated by this status page. Read the annotated draft. |
| VPE-001 v1.3, June 2026 | Target N=40; minimum 30. Classification of 80 LUXVAR words and 80 matched controls; a separate calibration stage. | Historical classification protocol. Preserve its own design and thresholds; do not relabel them as the later three-cohort plan. Read v1.3 history and PDF. |
| Later VPE-001A plan | N=59 across three named cohorts: Control, Affine Priming, Morphological Priming. | Latest project-described human-study plan. Recruitment has not commenced; no human outcome is established. The available summaries do not supply a verified, frozen protocol package for execution. |
N=59 is the reported total, not a stated sample per cohort. Cohort allocation, final stimuli, primary outcome, and analysis details must come from a verified version of that protocol; the older drafts do not fill those gaps.
Registration identity remains unresolved.
The historical v1.3 page links to OSF YEGJ8; later project documentation names OSF 2NKZA. The relationship between these identifiers, their registration status, timestamps, and exact protocol versions has not been reconciled in the audited artifact set. An OSF identifier or an old “submission ready” label does not by itself verify a preregistration.
IRB approval is declared in project documents, but the approval certificate was not independently located in that set. This page therefore does not certify ethics approval or authorize recruitment.
The local manuscript also preserves an earlier v2.1 citation under DOI 20691858, while the current public LUXVAR deposit is listed as v2.2 under DOI 22115483. The publication registry retains that unresolved provenance boundary; neither filename nor citation text establishes that the local manuscript is identical to a deposited file.
What is still needed for an executable study.
- A versioned protocol with a public timestamp and a resolved registration identifier.
- A fixed cohort allocation, stimulus and control lists, randomization and blinding procedures, participant criteria, and stopping rule.
- A specified primary estimand, scoring procedure, uncertainty analysis, multiplicity policy, and justified sample-size calculation.
- Documented ethics and consent requirements applicable to the actual study.
These are unresolved preparation items, not claims that the research has been run. A website consistency repair does not freeze a new experimental design.
Human grouping is a separate empirical question.
Designed semantic axes, morpheme-family grouping, effects of priming, and independent semantic recovery are different questions. None of the three unexecuted proposals establishes a human advantage over AI, a hidden cognitive layer, or general semantic validity. Physical fields, consciousness effects, external memory, and frequency-to-meaning causation are outside these study descriptions.
