Demonstrates the effects of human activity on architectural environments, suggesting measurable impacts on perception.
Environmental Persistence Fields (EPF) proposes a physically grounded model in which transient high-energy human activity leaves metastable perturbations in structured architectural environments. These perturbations evolve under measurable decay and diffusion dynamics and may weakly couple to human perceptual systems under specific material and geometric conditions. The framework formalizes these effects using a quantitative functional (Φ), generates testable predictions, and outlines experimental protocols involving EM variance mapping, material susceptibility analysis, and blinded perceptual trials.
