A03. CIE Foundations

Five connected studies move cie foundations from direct observation and explanation through controlled experiment, application and critique. Five active studies connect evidence, experiment, application and critique.

Observe → Understand → Experiment → Apply → Critique and record

• Standard Observers

  Begin CIE Foundations with standard observers: observe directly and record the conditions before interpreting the result.

• XYZ

  Within CIE Foundations, build a working explanation of xyz, keeping the model distinct from the appearance it describes.

• xyY

  In CIE Foundations, test xyy by changing one controlled variable and comparing the evidence.

• Chromaticity Diagrams

  Apply chromaticity diagrams within CIE Foundations to a practical color decision, preserving both the reasoning and its constraints.

• Limits of Tristimulus Descriptions

  In CIE Foundations, critique limits of tristimulus descriptions against evidence, exceptions and failure conditions before carrying it forward.
