Sommario:
- <p><strong>Version 2 Update:</strong> <em>Revised prior to data collection to update hardness magnitude estimates, clarify structural assumptions, and better distinguish the framework’s region-level contribution from spatial-frequency approaches. A full changelog is included in the manuscript.</em></p> <p>A composition feels resolved when one element clearly leads and unstable when several compete without hierarchy, yet the image properties that produce this experience remain poorly formalized. This preprint presents a theoretical framework for that problem. The framework proposes that perceived compositional dominance depends on three candidate variables: contrast relative to a perceptually defined ground (“canvas”), fractional area, and edge transition sharpness (“hardness”). These variables are combined multiplicatively and embedded within a competitive architecture based on divisive normalization. A provisional chromatic extension accounts for interactions between color and luminance. The manuscript formalizes a concept long discussed qualitatively in art and design practice and derives falsifiable predictions for empirical testing.</p> <p>Related preregistration, stimuli, and materials are available at <a href="https://osf.io/dgauz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://osf.io/dgauz</a> and <a href="https://osf.io/kmzgj" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://osf.io/kmzgj</a>.</p>
