SG Syllabus Lattice Directory v0.1 — ENGLISH (Primary → Secondary → JC)

TITLE: SG Syllabus Lattice Directory v0.1 — ENGLISH (Primary → Secondary → JC)
VERSION: CivOS Unified Spec v1.x
MODE: Almost-Code / LLM-first / WordPress paste-ready
OWNER: eduKateSG Fence Learning Systems
SCOPE: Singapore English as a runnable lattice (node registry + couplings + sensors + NIT repair)
GOAL: Publish an executable English directory:
      stable IDs, prerequisite graph, transfer tests, failure signatures (NIT),
      Fence repair routes, and direct coupling edges to Math WP + Humanities Argument.
CANONICAL CLAIM:
- English is a coordination system under load (meaning → sentence → paragraph → narrative/argument).
- Most “English weakness” is not vocabulary shortage. It’s coherence failure + retrieval failure under time.
- This directory makes English a computable repair system.

========================================================
4) PREREQUISITE EDGES (GRAPH) — v0.1 (CORE)
========================================================
Edge format:
Edge := {FromID, ToID, Weight(VH/H/M), SignatureLink}
Edges (selected):
- ENG-READ-LITERAL → ENG-READ-INF (VH)
- ENG-READ-INF → ENG-ARG-EVIDENCE (H)
- ENG-VOC-RETRIEVAL → ENG-SENT-CLARITY (H)
- ENG-GRAMMAR-CORE → ENG-SENT-CLARITY (VH)
- ENG-SENT-CLARITY → ENG-PARA-CORE (VH)
- ENG-PARA-CORE → ENG-COMP-NARR (H)
- ENG-COMP-PLAN → ENG-WRITE-LOAD (VH)
- ENG-ARG-STRUCT → ENG-WRITE-LOAD (H)
- ENG-EDITING → ENG-WRITE-LOAD (H)
- ENG-WRITE-LOAD + ENG-READ-INF → ENG-EXAM-TRANSFER (VH)
Coupling edges (published in /coupling-edges/):
- ENG-READ-INF → MATH-WP-READ (H) [COUP-SG-01]
- ENG-PARA-CORE + ENG-ARG-STRUCT → HUM-ESSAY-ARG (VH) [COUP-SG-03]
========================================================
5) SENSOR PACK (MICRO-TESTS) — v0.1
========================================================
SensorPack: SG×ENG×Z0×Tutor×SensorPack×SENS-SG-ENG-v0.1
Weekly minimum (20–35 min total):
- RR-10: Retrieval (10 min) (active vocab + phrases)
- PARA-10: Timed paragraph (10 min) (coherence + structure)
- INF-10: Inference set (10 min) OR alternate weeks
Metrics:
- RR (retrieval reliability)
- GR (grammar under time)
- CR (coherence reliability)
- SR (structure reliability)
- NIT_w (NIT triggers per week)
- OutputRate (words/min) with coherence intact
- ERC (repeat error classes)
Fence triggers:
- NIT_w ≥ 2 → Emergency Coherence Mode (truncate length, stitch skeleton)
- RR low but vocab list growing → “RR paradox” (stop collecting; force production)
- CR drops while GR ok → coherence is the issue (not grammar)
========================================================
6) FAILURE ATLAS (SIGNATURES) — v0.1 (ENGLISH)
========================================================
ENG-SIG-01: Connector Chaos (NIT-SG-01)
ENG-SIG-02: Pronoun/Reference Drift (NIT-SG-02)
ENG-SIG-03: Thesis Drift (NIT-SG-03)
ENG-SIG-04: Evidence Dump (no link sentence)
ENG-SIG-05: Passive-Only Vocab (knows meaning, cannot use)
ENG-SIG-06: False Competence (drills ok, transfer fails)
ENG-SIG-07: Time Crash (finish-ability collapse in writing)
Each signature links to:
- predicted next failure
- truncation action
- stitching repair loop
- re-test
========================================================
7) REPAIR PROTOCOLS (TRUNCATION + STITCHING) — v0.1
========================================================
Protocol: SG×ENG×Z0×Operator×Protocol×ENG-FENCE-v0.1
Truncation Rules:
- If NIT rising → shorten output; limit connectors; enforce skeleton
- If Passive vocab → stop lists; do phrase+sentence production only
- If Thesis drift → cap at 2 claims; micro-essays only
- If Time crash → timed blocks; reduce length until completion stable
Stitching Order:
1) Coherence stability (paragraph skeleton + connectors)
2) Evidence link (CEE)
3) Grammar error-class repair
4) Retrieval production (word→phrase→sentence)
5) Load training (timed blocks + rewrite weakest paragraph)
Locked eduKateSG composition repair protocol (canonical):
- 4-phase upgrade plan + 5-Box Story Plan + rewrite weakest paragraph (integrate here).
========================================================
8) REQUIRED FAILURE TRACE (ENGLISH DIRECTORY)
========================================================
Trace:
Retrieval weak →
sentence control unstable →
paragraph coherence breaks (NIT rises) →
writing under time collapses →
transfer fails across comprehension + essay →
downstream couplings break (Math WP, Humanities essays).
Fence Repair:
Sensors catch NIT/RR early →
truncate length + stitch skeleton →
restore retrieval production →
timed load training →
transfer stabilises →
couplings recover.
