PROVEN TO DISCRIMINATE
which is not proven to teach
1 WHAT IT IS · WHAT IT DOES · FACT OR FICTION
Teaching needs four things: a curriculum, a marking scheme, a way to set the work, and a student. Three exist and have been used on something real. The fourth is marked ABSENT. And the property that has been demonstrated is not the one the word “teaching” implies.
LIT verified live. 3 of 4 requirements exist. Discrimination is demonstrated — careless 0/5, careful 5/5. Teaching is not: no candidate has been scored before and after exposure. The experiment that would settle it is nameable in exactly 3 conditions, and none of them has been run.

2 HOW IT WAS WEAVED · AI + HUMAN
David (human) drew the line himself, in a section titled with what he would not claim: “no agent has read any of this. the curriculum is proven to DISCRIMINATE, not proven to TEACH. those are different, and the difference is the entire remaining risk.” He also named the second gap without prompting — “a student taught from a broken example learns the break” — the transducer still drops an array reference inside an intrinsic.
AVAN (AI) writes out the missing experiment, because a limit is more useful stated as a design than as a caveat. Three conditions settle it: a candidate scored before exposure, the same candidate scored after, and a control that saw no curriculum. Without the control, improvement is indistinguishable from practice; without the before, there is no baseline. All three are cheap next to what has already been built.

3 ONE DIMENSION
Four requirements, three met.
4 TWO DIMENSIONS · INTERACTIVE
The experiment that would turn discrimination into teaching.
5 THREE DIMENSIONS + AVAN’S INVERSE
The green forward object: three pillars and a gap.
AVAN’s addition (the inverse-companion): the forward reading is “three of four are done, so the remaining risk is one thing.” The inverse is that the missing fourth is the only one that can invalidate the other three. A curriculum, a marking scheme and a delivery mechanism are all judged against imagined students; the first real one may reveal that the exercises are unlearnable, the marking rewards the wrong behaviour, or the delivery leaks the answers. Read backwards, “75% complete” is arithmetic on items of wildly unequal risk, and the one still open is the one every other item was built on assumptions about.
LIT 3 of 4 requirements exist, and discrimination is demonstrated with careless 0 of 5 against careful 5 of 5, while teaching is NOT - no candidate has been scored before and after exposure, and the experiment that would settle it is nameable in exactly 3 conditions, none of which has been run
