# CONSTRAINTS
constraint C01: every relation endpoint MUST match its declared entity type.
constraint C02: evidence MUST reference an existing assessment and learner.
constraint C03: assessment of an objective MUST not imply mastery without sufficient evidence and a stated decision rule.
constraint C04: prerequisite links MUST be acyclic within a declared curriculum version.
constraint C05: assessment results MUST retain applicable context, method, and provenance.
constraint C06: learner attributes MUST not be used to infer ability or attainment without valid evidence.
# FORMAL INFERENCE RULES
rule R01 CurriculumCoverage:
IF INCLUDES(c,o) AND MEASURES(a,o)
THEN assessment_coverage(c,o,a) := true.
rule R02 InstructionAlignment:
IF TARGETS(activity,o) AND INCLUDES(c,o)
THEN instructional_alignment(activity,c,o) := true.
rule R03 EvidenceTraceability:
IF GENERATES(a,e) AND MEASURES(a,o)
THEN evidence_for_objective(e,o) := true.
rule R04 DeliveryMode:
IF DELIVERED_VIA(activity,environment)
THEN delivery_mode(activity) := "distance_or_blended";
NOTE: do not infer exclusive distance delivery.
rule R05 KnowledgeTransferTrace:
IF TRANSFERS(event,resource)
THEN transfer_trace(resource,event) := true;
NOTE: transfer event does not prove recipient comprehension.
rule R06 PrerequisiteReadiness:
IF PREREQUISITE_OF(a,b) AND supported_mastery(learner,a,evidence)
THEN prerequisite_evidence(learner,b,a) := evidence;
NOTE: readiness remains conditional on the curriculum's stated criteria.
# CONFIDENCE
CONFIDENCE:
range: [0.0, 1.0]
interpretation: calibrated evidence support, not a substitute for validity.
factors: [source_reliability, measurement_validity, evidence_completeness, context_match, recency]
rule: missing evidence MUST NOT default to high confidence.
# SEMANTIC_EQUIVALENCE
SEMANTIC_EQUIVALENCE:
- ["learning objective", "intended learning outcome"] # context-dependent
- ["distance education", "distance learning"] # context-dependent
- ["formative assessment", "assessment for learning"] # not universally identical
rule: equivalence requires compatible definition, scope, and context.
# PROVENANCE
PROVENANCE:

source_scope: section headings verified on source page
