Cognitive Projection and Observer Entropy: A Minimal Model of Subjective Physics

Version 5 investigates the coupling between subjective entropy and reaction time in perceptual decision-making. The model introduces an entropy-based reaction time estimator under additive Gaussian noise and validates it through large-scale simulations with varying Dirichlet priors. Statistical analysis includes Spearman and Pearson correlations as well as bootstrapped confidence intervals. Comparative results show how entropy-based internal uncertainty predicts observable variability in reaction times. This version supersedes all previous releases for any reference to reaction time modeling and entropy–behavior coupling.
