nx_flavor_design.nx -- T5 of the TASTE-SCIENCE ladder: GENERATIVE FLAVOR DESIGN. The taste-ladder analogue of ferment R5: given a TARGET perceived taste profile and a palette of ingredients, GENERATE the combination whose PERCEIVED profile (after T1 mixture suppression) best matches the target -- creating a flavor the palette has none of on its own. The baseline nx_food_science picks from a FIXED slot frame by summing static axis scores. T5 searches the palette (singles AND blends) and scores each candidate by its PERCEIVED profile (real psychophysics), targeting an arbitrary goal -- so it can DESIGN toward "balanced sweet- sour" or any target, and the best answer is often a BLEND that exists in no single ingredient. MEASURED EXCEED (gate-checked): for a balanced target, the best 2- ingredient BLEND (a new combination) beats every single ingredient, scored on perceived (suppressed) profiles -- generation the static frame cannot do. Composes T1 (nx_taste_psychophysics) for mixture perception. genealogy_id: nishi_taste_psychophysics_t1 + generate_and_test_design
