🧠 Neuroscience Insight

Representational change is sudden (cold→hot), not gradual. The gap between capture and first reference shows the "click" moment when patterns are recognized.

"Shadcn template perfectly aligns with Visual Leaderboard concept"

No cross-references found - may have felt true but not actionable

QED Validation Principle

In Mooney image studies, 40% of incorrect identifications still felt like insights. Feeling certain ≠ being correct.

Solution: Knowledge must prove value through cross-references and application, not just subjective "aha" feeling.

🔍 Early days. Need more data to assess validation rate. Target: > 60% by Week 6.
