Vela research

What Vela's research program is, what threads it runs, where its methods generalize, and how to read further. The outside-reader one-pager — distinct from the internal twelve-RQ program plan.

Adaptive measurement, dual-grade corpus ingestion, RID/SID architecture, and the standards reports inherit.

Methodological note on the Vela ingestion architecture — when to favor the dual-grade pattern, when multi-faceted extraction wins.

What separates desire (move-toward) from preference (like) in figurative response.

Which compositional features mediate response, and how do they interact.

How desire moves over a session and across sessions.

Which dimensions of variance separate participants and how stable they are.

Field positioning across the desire / aesthetic / measurement literature.

First-volume analysis of the desire-index instrument.

Literature review for the Christianity / sex / shame thread.

A research note synthesizing the historical case.

How the tradition reads itself across centuries.

An across-the-corpus reading of Augustine on the body, sex, and shame.

Literature review for the text-aesthetic thread.

Program proposal for the Boudoir Studios research initiative.

Methodological notes for the Warhol artist study.

Notes on the emotion-corpus expansion plan.

Bootstrap of the thread. Three sub-questions: (a) museum-vs-museum corpus differences, (b) museum vs. its primary serving location, (c) temporal change using artwork creation dates. Analysis of (a) is queued at ASN-981.

General-audience entry point into the Vela research program.

A senior referee's review of the christianity-sex-shame literature review and supporting documents, written for a psychology-of-religion / history-of-Christianity outlet.

Staff-engineer review of the corpus pipeline that produces the christianity-sex-shame research outputs — dual-grade ingestion, retrieval against thinly-curated sources, and reproducibility of the synthesis chain.

Product strategist's read on what the christianity-sex-shame research tells Vela to build next — content-warning UX, member recruitment messaging, the theological-coherence intervention as a /study module, and how the player should adapt for high-religiosity participants.

Architecture and instrument design from an engineering reviewer's lens.

What the research tells us to build next.
