I’ve provided evidence for all of them—they have to obey algebraic equations.
I don’t really know by what basis you say these are just based on Western culture. Take, for example that Buddhist monks wear orange robes. Or, that stop lights are mostly (red, yellow, green) in nearly all countries. There may be a reason that we use these colors for these meanings, and my post postulates this as well as speculates that although this may be the case, it is not something that is well-documented at this point.
You shouldn’t just claim that someone hasn’t provided evidence for something or has failed to do something markedly obvious—you really lose a lot of the basis of shared respect that way.
This is an introductory post. I have been advised to keep things short before, but trying to ensure that every possible objection is answered preemptively is not possible within those constraints.
If you try and keep your objections something that can spur discussion, it would make comment threads useful for expanding on the material, which would be a desirable outcome.
I don’t see anything about Buddhist monks or stop lights in the original article? I think you might be doing the thing where there’s an argument for this inside of your head but you’re not providing it to us.
I am asking the reader to at least entertain my hypotheticals as I explain them, which… Perhaps is asking a little too much. It might simply be necessary to provide far more examples, especially for this particular subject.
The thing is, the concept overlaps are going to be very fuzzy, and there’s no way around that. These color-meanings can’t be forced to be too precise, and that means that on the whole, over many many observations, these meanings make very soft impressions over time. It may not be something that will strike you either as obvious or as an explanation for a missing piece of data you’ve always wondered about unless you’re explicitly looking for it.
In my case, I am not sure when / how I first observed it, but it was relatively sudden and I happened not to be explicitly looking for it.
