100_Optical Information Persistence in Historical Oil Portraits (OIP-HP Series)

This project investigates the persistence of structured optical information in historical oil portraits through reproducible polarity-response testing using the BIMOD protocol. The present paper reports comparative observations from: Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa Thomas Lawrence’s King George IV Despite differences in artist, historical period, and stylistic execution, both portraits elicited consistent polarity-specific responses under standardized experimental conditions. The study does not claim mechanistic explanation. It presents empirical observations intended to motivate interdisciplinary inquiry into optical encoding, perceptual physics, and historical painting techniques. Future development will focus on transitioning from human-response-based polarity detection to objective micro-voltage (µV) scale instrumentation systems. Primary methodological reference: Yoon, D.
