How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12109518 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

A.
Phong reflection model
The Phong reflection model is a computer graphics shading technique that approximates how light reflects off a surface by combining ambient, diffuse, and specular components to produce smooth highlights.
