How does one resolve the concepts of the 'scientific' (linear) color frequency model and the 'artistic' (circular) color wheel model in regards to color perception?

The resolution is quite simple and close to what you suggested: the rest of the question, in the questioner's words "If we look at a color wheel and assign a corresponding light frequency to each point on the wheel, high frequency blue around to low frequency red, it seems that somewhere in 'purple/violet' range that there would be a point which represents both the very highest perceptible color frequency and the very lowest!?" The linear representation of color is in fact simply a representation of the physical stimulus in terms of wavelenght (or frequency). This does help define the stimulus, but not the color perceptions.

To fully describe color in a scientific way, one must factor in the the human visual system. Once this is done, systems of colorimetry easily represent the circular nature of hue by connecting mixtures of the two ends of the spectrum to produce purples. So both scientists and artists describe the perception of hue as circular.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
