# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# 1) Classical Foundation Block
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
CLASSICAL_FOUNDATION:
Main idea:
- Mathematics supports modelling, prediction, optimization, measurement,
and reasoning across sciences and industries.
Career relevance:
- engineering design, finance risk, operations planning,
analytics, quality control, simulation.
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# 2) Civilisation-Grade Definition (locked)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
CIV_GRADE_DEFINITION:
Career-math:
- a modelling + decision loop under uncertainty:
quantify → model → compute/approximate → interpret → decide → monitor → repair
Reconnection:
- math becomes career-aligned when learners repeatedly build models
with assumptions, bounds, validation, and decision statements.
Core Law:
- stability when VerificationEffort >= ErrorPropagationRisk.
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# 3) Phase Map (P0–P3)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
PHASE_MAP:
P0: "Procedure-only"
- solves given equations; no modelling transfer
P1: "Template modeller"
- can model familiar contexts; breaks under variation
P2: "Bounded modeller"
- translates scenarios; uses units/bounds; validates results
P3: "Decision-grade modeller"
- frames model choices, stress-tests assumptions, communicates decisions
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# 4) Inequality Locks (corridor quality)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
INEQUALITY_LOCKS:
L1: TranslationSuccess >= ContextVariation
L2: UnitSense >= 0.95
L3: SanityCheckRate >= 0.80
L4: AssumptionVisibility >= 0.80
L5: ToolValidation >= 0.70
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# 5) The Career-Math Loop (runnable corridor)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
CAREER_MATH_LOOP:
Step1_Quantify:
- define variables + units
- define what must be measured/estimated
Step2_Model:
- choose simplest baseline model first
- write constraints and assumptions (max 3)
- identify objective (what we optimize)
Step3_ComputeOrApproximate:
- compute exactly if needed
- otherwise estimate/bounds first, then refine
Step4_Interpret:
- translate result into meaning:
"this means ___ in reality"
Step5_Decide:
- state decision rule:
"If result > threshold, do ___; else do ___"
Step6_Monitor:
- track key metric over time
- compare model vs reality
Step7_Repair:
- update assumptions/model based on error
- document changes as SOP/checklist
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# 6) Validation Pack (minimum 2 checks every time)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
VALIDATION_PACK:
V1_UnitsCheck:
- units consistent; output unit makes sense
V2_BoundsCheck:
- output within plausible min/max
Optional:
V3_AlternateMethod:
- compute via second approach or simpler approximation
V4_BackOfEnvelope:
- order-of-magnitude estimate
V5_DataSanity:
- outliers/measurement error check
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# 7) Topic→Career Engine Mapping (compressed)
