Research territory

Feedback research examines the environment, timing, specificity, focus, and conditions under which performance information helps rather than merely attracts attention.

Anchor: feedback specificity; feedback quality; reinforcement.

Seed Claim Library for FEEDBACK: FEEDBACK-001, FEEDBACK-002, FEEDBACK-003. These are root-level research propositions, not an assertion that any one Claim maps one-to-one to this joke.

This static edition exposes the research territory and Seed Claim Library, not a finalized evidence verdict for this specific joke. Study-level citations, claim confidence, and evidence-change history will appear only after the research Machine completes its publication gate. The joke is never evidence.
