How to Use

  • Set the sliders for Intrinsic Motivation and Time Pressure.
  • Run Discovery animates the observer moving through the problem field.
  • Gold circles are high-value hidden contradictions — only wide, pressure-free exploration finds them.
  • Results show how many central vs. hidden problems were discovered and the overall quality score.
  • Reset regenerates the seed positions for a new trial.

Learning Objective

Explain (Bloom L2) how intrinsic motivation and low time pressure expand the discovery perceptual field, enabling detection of peripheral hidden contradictions.
