Canonical Artifact Name: Education OS Kernel v1.0 — Human Outcome Physics Kernel
Artifact Class: Executable Human Systems Diagnostic Kernel
Artifact Version: v1.0
Artifact Authority: eduKate Singapore
Canonical ID: EducationOS-Kernel-v1.0
Block 1 — System Boundary
System: One adult (mid-career) attempting a career transition over a 16-week window (e.g., moving into data, product, teaching, design, or a new industry role).
Included: skill acquisition plan, practice consistency, portfolio/output, interview performance, networking activity, feedback loop, time and energy constraints.
Excluded: long-term identity goals beyond 16 weeks and unrelated life domains not affecting the transition.
Block 2 — D/L/T Score Table (0–5)
| Axis | Score | Justification |
|---|---|---|
| D (Depth) | 2/5 | Learning is broad but shallow; concepts are recognised but not reliably applied. |
| L (Load) | 2/5 | Under work/family stress, study routine collapses and progress becomes inconsistent. |
| T (Transfer) | 1/5 | Learning does not convert into real outputs (portfolio, interviews, job offers). |
Block 3 — Binding Constraints (e)
- Time constraint: limited weekly hours due to job and family responsibilities.
- Energy constraint: cognitive fatigue after work reduces deep practice quality.
Block 4 — Trajectory Physics (t)
Rise: Early motivation produces rapid consumption of courses and notes.
Stall: Progress slows when tasks require independent building (projects, portfolio).
Regression: Missed weeks create skill decay and confidence drop; avoidance increases.
Lock-in risk: The system becomes “perpetual learning without conversion,” reinforcing stagnation.
Block 5 — Failure Signature
Primary failure: T-FAIL (Transfer failed first)
Reason: The adult is accumulating knowledge but not converting it into demonstrable outcomes under real-world constraints.
Block 6 — Recovery Mode
Selected: Transfer Repair.
Block 7 — Retest Probe
Probe A – Output conversion (weekly deliverable)
Every week: produce one concrete artifact (project, case study, lesson plan, demo, written analysis, or shipped feature mock).
Pass: 12/16 weeks contain a finished artifact posted in a portfolio or shared for feedback.
Probe B – Interview transfer (simulation under pressure)
Weekly: 1 timed interview simulation (technical or role-specific).
Pass: Improvement is measurable: higher accuracy, clearer structure, or reduced hesitation across 4 consecutive weeks.
Probe C – Market feedback loop
Weekly: 5 outreach actions (applications, referrals, recruiter messages, informational interviews).
Pass: ≥1 meaningful response per week by week 6, and ≥1 interview pipeline event by week 12.
Re-run rule:
If probes pass for 3 consecutive weeks, raise T by +1 and re-execute the kernel.
