Canonical scale selection for routed breadth

Determine a unique module granularity for partitioning the remainder of a Global Mediation Workspace into specialist modules when measuring routed source–target breadth.

Background

The routed-breadth measure G_pair depends on how the remainder is partitioned into specialist modules. A coarse partition can merge distinct routes, whereas a fine partition can distribute the same mediated energy over more module pairs.

The paper therefore treats module granularity as an unresolved scale-selection issue and recommends that empirical studies predefine the partition and test plausible alternatives.

This is an unresolved problem of scale selection, similar to the choice of candidate size.
