Have you considered 100GB BD-RE? These are rewritable, but that is only the byproduct of being a phase-change medium, which is also >50 years and thus has a longer shelf life than the standard WORM BD/DVD. I am using them and can sa

Maybe this tool is a bit more comprehensive. After configuring a stripped down image, Windows can be installed in what is almost like a headless mode in literally 5 minutes with no user intervention: https://www.ntlite.com/

“Mathematical" and "optical“ stems from design lingo and is AFAICS not an invention by the author. One can find these terms in most of design related software packages. “Mathematical” is also often described as “metrics”.

Designer here. By maximising contrast, one is trading short-term legibility with long term legibility. The maximum amount of contrast is as problematic as almost no contrast. There is a maximum useable deviation to both ends. By approaching
