An observed difference in interaction dynamics associated with an AI system having a physical, embodied form versus a text-only form; reported as a measurable contrast condition rather than asserted as a fixed causal law.
STATE/contrast. Operationalized as the difference in a pre-specified interaction measure (e.g., user compliance rate, turn latency, or trust rating) between matched embodied and text-only conditions of the same system. The construct is the between-condition difference on that measure, established by comparison, not a per-turn count.
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Within- or between-subjects comparison of embodied vs text-only conditions on a registered outcome measure; effect could be reported as a standardized mean difference (Cohen's d) with confidence interval. The embodiment condition itself would be coded as in Physical Presence.
