§ CORRELATION · PARAMETER INTERDEPENDENCE · 184 PLATFORMS
Parameter Correlation Matrix
Pearson correlation across all 184 platforms for each pair of the 11 structural parameters. Strong positive correlation means the parameters tend to co-occur; negative means they trade off.
−1.0 (negative)+1.0 (positive)
Interpretation
Parameters within the same group (Capture: d, m, a, p, n, c; Escape: x, s, h) tend to correlate positively: a platform that scores high on one capture input usually scores high on the others. Across the groups, higher capture inputs tend to go with lower escape inputs. These are correlations within one rater’s scores. They are consistent with the structure the formula assumes; they do not confirm it, and they cannot tell a real asymmetry in the world from a habit in the scoring. The inter-rater study that could tell the two apart has not been run.
