Abstract

Taxonomy of Silent Frames Every failure in this atlas is caused by one or more hidden interpretive parameters on a quantitative representation: | Frame Type | What Is Hidden | Example Failure | |:-----------|:---------------|:----------------| | Silent Radix | The base (binary, octal, decimal, hex) | 010 parsed as 8 instead of 10 | | Silent Metric | The distance function (Euclidean, ultrametric, log) | Likert means computed on ordinal data | | Silent Unit | The physical unit |
