Uncanny Valley Mori Curve Position Estimator

Interpolate actual independently matched Mori-style likeness/affinity observations, not a fabricated universal uncanny-valley curve or its causal location. Independently matched empirical calibration, piecewise linear, no extrapolation; not a universal physiological, psychological, causal or aesthetic threshold.

Description

A likeness-affinity relationship must come from a particular set of observations rather than an assumed universal curve.

A likeness-affinity relationship must come from a particular set of observations rather than an assumed universal curve.1

This tool interpolates caller-matched responses and returns the local slope within that calibration.

When to use Uncanny Valley Mori Curve Position Estimator

Use this tool to interpolate caller-matched responses and returns the local slope within that calibration.

How to use Uncanny Valley Mori Curve Position Estimator and how it works

  1. Establish the observations, units, reference context and assumptions described below.
  2. Enter callerMatchedCoordinates, callerMatchedResponses, queryCoordinate and run the tool.
  3. Read result.interpolatedMatchedResponse, result.localMatchedSlope using the meanings and sign conventions below.
  4. Correct any rejected inputs and rerun; independently review the result under the stated scope.
Input fieldMeaningValue typeRequirement
callerMatchedCoordinatesAt least two finite strictly increasing coordinates for the matched empirical calibration.array of numberRequired; branch conditions below
callerMatchedResponsesFinite response observations in coordinate order; units belong to the declared calibration.array of numberRequired; branch conditions below
queryCoordinateFinite query within the supplied coordinate range, endpoints included.numberRequired; finite; branch conditions below

Supply aligned finite coordinate and response arrays, at least two strictly increasing coordinates, and a finite query within both endpoints. Linearly interpolate the response and return the segment slope. At an interior knot the slope uses the segment to its right; the last endpoint uses the final segment. Responses need not be monotone, and no universal uncanny-valley curve or extremum is inferred.

response=y_i+(y_(i+1)-y_i)*(query-x_i)/(x_(i+1)-x_i); slope=(y_(i+1)-y_i)/(x_(i+1)-x_i)

Use the stated ordering, units and branch conditions.

Limitations and assumptions

The calculation depends on independently established observations, coefficients and the matching units. It does not collect data, choose a treatment or target, establish model applicability or provide a validated forecast. Interpret its result within the branch conditions and assumptions above.

Supply explicit values and dense aligned arrays. Unexpected fields, wrong types and nonfinite scalar values are rejected; fixed-token, alignment and other branch conditions are explained above. A successful false flag, empty match list or unknown-evidence list differs from an input error. Extremely large inputs or nonrepresentable results may fail.
