Slug: /summary-os/
Role: The compression engine that converts dense text into short, accurate, word-limited output without losing meaning.
Used in: Secondary English, O-Levels, many “real life” tasks (reports, notes, briefings).
H1: Summary OS — What It Is and How It Works
Canonical Definition (LOCK)
Summary_OS := a compression-and-paraphrase system that producesword-limited output while preserving: required points + meaning integrity + logical relations,under strict constraints (word limit + time).
Mastery (P3)
P3(Summary) = student can consistently: - capture required points - paraphrase (not copy) - obey word limit - avoid meaning leakageacross varied passages.
H2: Summary Is Not Shortening (It’s Controlled Compression)
LOCK
A summary is not “short writing”.It is information selection + compression + paraphrase control.
H2: Summary OS Architecture (Pipeline)
Summary_OS { Input: - passage segment(s) - question/task requirements (what counts as a point) Process: 1) Point Extraction (no paraphrase yet) 2) Point Compression (merge/reduce) 3) Paraphrase (synonym families + structure change) 4) Integrity Check (meaning preserved) 5) Word Limit Trim (remove redundancy safely) ControlLayer: - anti-copy rule - evidence discipline - time boxing Output: - concise accurate summary within word limit}
H2: Phases (P0–P3) for Summary
P0: cannot identify points; copies randomlyP1: identifies some points but misses many; heavy copyingP2: can summarise but often exceeds word limit or leaks meaningP3: consistent point capture + clean paraphrase + within word limit
H2: Top 6 Failure Modes (Summary)
FM1: Missed points (selection failure)FM2: Meaning leakage (distortion)FM3: Copying chunks from passage (paraphrase failure)FM4: Word limit breach (control failure)FM5: Repetition / redundancy (compression failure)FM6: Wrong linking logic (cause/effect, contrast lost)
H2: Sensors Pack (Summary Instrument Panel)
Core Sensors (most important)
SUM_Sensors { PointsCaptured / PointsRequired MeaningLeakEvents (count) CopyRate (how much is lifted directly) WordLimitCompliance (Y/N) RepetitionRate LogicPreservationScore (relations kept)}
Fast proxies (for quick marking)
Proxies { - count required points present (tick checklist) - underline copied phrases (copy rate proxy) - circle distortions/overclaims (leak proxy) - count redundant phrases (repetition proxy)}
H2: The Summary Control Layer (Constraints Engine)
Time Boxing (LOCK)
TIME_BOX_SUMMARY { Extract points: 30–40% Write summary: 40–50% Trim/check: 10–20%}
Anti-Copy Rule (LOCK)
No sentence should be copied verbatim.Change at least one of: - word choice - sentence structure - point orderwhile preserving meaning.
Integrity Rule (LOCK)
Do not add new ideas.Do not exaggerate.Do not remove required points.
H2: The Core Algorithm (Step-by-Step)
Step 1 — Point Extraction (no paraphrase)
POINT_LIST := list required points as short bullet fragments.No full sentences.No “nice writing”.Just content.
Step 2 — Compression (merge points)
Merge related points: two bullets → one clauseRemove examples/details unless required.Keep relations: because/however/therefore.
Step 3 — Paraphrase (controlled)
Use: - synonym families - collocation swaps - structure swaps (active↔passive, clause merge)Avoid: - “synonym substitution” that changes meaning
Step 4 — Integrity Check
Check: - all required points present? - any distortion? - any over-claims?
Step 5 — Word Limit Trim
Trim redundancy first.Replace long phrases with compact equivalents.Remove repeated framing.
H2: Repair Loops (Smallest Reliable Fixes)
Loop 1 — Point Capture Drill (Selection)
LOOP_POINTS { read passage list 6–10 points as fragments compare to answer key checklist fix missed point pattern}
Loop 2 — Compression Drill (Merge)
LOOP_COMPRESSION { take 8 points compress to 5 sentences max preserve relations (cause/contrast)}
Loop 3 — Paraphrase Families (Vocabulary crossover)
LOOP_PARAPHRASE { for each key phrase: create 2 alternatives with same meaning test: can you paraphrase without meaning drift?}
Loop 4 — Word Limit Trimming (Control)
LOOP_TRIM { write summary cut 10–15% words without losing points remove redundancy tighten connectors}
H2: The “Meaning Leakage” Prevention System
What leakage looks like
- adding a new claim not in text
- exaggerating intensity (“always”, “never”)
- wrong cause/effect
- wrong scope (“all students” vs “some”)
Leak Tagging (for post-mortem)
LeakTag := AddedIdea | Exaggeration | WrongRelation | WrongScope | OmittedPoint
Repair rule: fix the dominant leak tag first.
H2: Integration (Summary OS ↔ Vocabulary OS)
LOCK
Summary requires paraphrase families.Paraphrase families require P3 vocabulary + chunk control.
Practical link:
- If student copies → vocabulary depth missing OR paraphrase practice missing
- Fix by: synonym families + structure swap drills
H2: Negative Inversion — Why Students Stay Bad at Summary
Failure Mode Trace (required)
Student writes “nice sentences”→ forgets to extract points→ exceeds word limit→ copies phrases to save time→ misses required points→ summary score stays low
Correct fix (LOCK)
Summary improves by: point extraction first → controlled compression → paraphrase → trim.Not by writing “better English”.
Canonical Spec Block (Summary)
SUMMARY_OS_SPEC v1.0 { Definition: compression + paraphrase + integrity under word limit Steps: extract points → compress → paraphrase → integrity check → trim Sensors: points captured, meaning leakage, copy rate, word limit, repetition Repairs: point drill, compression drill, paraphrase families, trim drill P3 Gate: required points present + no leakage + within word limit}
