🧠 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.
Target: 1-2 Teaching Guides by Week 6
Knowledge proves value through natural selection (garbage collection model)
