Vocabulary OS Sensor Directory — Unified Almost-Code Instrument Panel (Registry-Clean) v0.2

Source page: “Vocabulary OS Sensor Directory” (eduKate)

0) Definition Lock

Vocabulary OS Sensor Directory := the instrument panel for Vocabulary OS, built to prevent drift by making vocabulary measurable. (eduKate)

Vocabulary OS is NOT “word memorisation.”
It is meaning infrastructure that powers: Education OS, Mind OS, Governance OS, and Culture & Language OS. (eduKate)

1) Core Loop (What We Measure)

Vocabulary OS runs as a closed loop:

Exposure → Connection → Retrieval → Sentence Use → Repair

If the loop is healthy, vocabulary grows monotonically and becomes stable.
If the loop breaks, vocabulary becomes oscillating, fragile, and shallow. (eduKate)

2) How to Use This Directory (Operator Rule)

Do not judge vocabulary by “how many difficult words someone knows.”
Diagnose the loop by checking the five sensors:

Exposure Sensor
Connection Sensor
Retrieval Sensor
Sentence Use Sensor
Repair Sensor

If all five sensors improve over time, the system is running. (eduKate)

3) Public Dashboard Bindings (Gauge Layer)

These are the interpretation layer and safety rails, and the sensors feed into the gauge: (eduKate)

Vocabulary Gauge → /vocabulary-gauge/ (eduKate)
Reading the Vocabulary Gauge → /reading-the-vocabulary-gauge/ (eduKate)
Monitoring Vocabulary Health → /monitoring-vocabulary-health/ (eduKate)

Also listed on the page (supporting instrumentation):

Vocabulary Telemetry → /vocabulary-telemetry/ (eduKate)
Vocabulary Diagnostics Sensor → /vocabulary-diagnostics-sensor/ (eduKate)
Vocabulary Diagnostics (overview) → /vocabulary-diagnostics/ (eduKate)
Vocabulary CDI → /vocabulary-cdi/ (eduKate)

4) The Five Core Sensors (Loop Sensors) — Canonical Directory Entries

SENSOR 1) Vocabulary Exposure Sensor

Slug: vocab-sensor-exposure (eduKate)
URL: /vocab-sensor-exposure/ (eduKate)
Measures: whether the learner is receiving enough high-quality input (fuel of vocabulary growth). (eduKate)

VOC-*-Z0-EXP-INPUT-P*

SENSOR 2) Vocabulary Connection Sensor

Slug: vocab-sensor-connection (eduKate)
URL: /vocab-sensor-connection/ (eduKate)
Measures: whether new words are linked into a semantic network (meaning, synonyms/antonyms, contexts, collocations). (eduKate)

VOC-*-Z1-CON-NETWORK-P*
VOC-*-Z1-COL-COLLOC-P*

SENSOR 3) Vocabulary Retrieval Sensor

Slug: vocab-sensor-retrieval (eduKate)
URL: /vocab-sensor-retrieval/ (eduKate)
Measures: retrievability after time delays (24h / 7d / 30d). Retrieval is the difference between “seen it before” and “owns it”. (eduKate)

VOC-*-Z3-RET-DELAYS-P*

SENSOR 4) Vocabulary Sentence Use Sensor

Slug: vocab-sensor-sentence (eduKate)
URL: /vocab-sensor-sentence/ (eduKate)
Measures: whether a word can be used correctly in sentences across contexts; where vocabulary becomes functional, not decorative. (eduKate)

VOC-*-Z2-SENT-DEPLOY-P*
plus FENCE bindings: ENG-*-Z0/1-*-SENT*

SENSOR 5) Vocabulary Repair Sensor

Slug: vocab-sensor-repair (eduKate)
URL: /vocab-sensor-repair/ (eduKate)
Measures: whether mistakes are repaired and stabilised (wrong meaning, tone, collocation, grammar). Repair turns learning into a self-correcting system. (eduKate)

VOC-*-Z2-RPR-ERRORFIX-P*

5) Vocabulary OS Execution Rule (Anti-Drift)

Vocabulary OS is “running” only if:

Exposure is consistent
Connections deepen
Retrieval improves over time
Sentence use becomes correct and flexible
Repair reduces repeated mistakes (eduKate)

If any sensor is missing, the loop leaks. (eduKate)

6) Recommended Build Order (So It Becomes Operational Fast)

The page prescribes:

Publish this directory page
Publish the five sensor pages in loop order (Exposure → Connection → Retrieval → Sentence Use → Repair)
Link each sensor page back to: Vocabulary Gauge, Reading the Gauge, Monitoring Health
Then connect Vocabulary OS into Education OS using the interface page: /interface-vocab-education/ (eduKate)

7) Drop-in Footer Block (Paste into every sensor page)
