Alignment Dashboard

This file is the durable checkpoint for the active goal: generate the remaining lessons and align both the research-frontier state and the learner-progress state.

Current Research Frontier State

Status: represented in the local graph and distilled into the frontier course.

Authoritative sources:

• ../index.md
• ../research/graph-audit.md
• Conjecture 3 Frontier Alignment
• Conjecture 3 frontier source map

Current distilled frontier:

• The minimal static near-square 2D theorem is solved for theorem-level Quantum Tanner families in linear space.
• The chosen-presentation expansion route remains important for seeing the expander-versus-grid mechanism.
• The invariant cut object is cross-cut stabilizer rank, equivalently binary matroid connectivity of the stabilizer support matrix.
• The compiler-native theorem currently on disk is submodular cut congestion for SWAP-only service.
• Remaining open frontiers include explicit deterministic packaging, linear balanced cut rank for Quantum Tanner matrices, dense original-matroid concentration, local quotient-image accumulation, and semantics beyond submodular CD.

Current Learner State

Status: not yet aligned.

Reason: the learner requested a fresh start because most Heptabase-generated teaching material was not actually read. The repo now contains the generated course material, but the learner has not yet completed or passed the diagnostics.

Authoritative progress file:

• learner-progress.md
• session-protocol.md
• diagnostic-intake-key.md
• session-log.md

Next lesson:

• Lesson 01 - Research Orientation, GF(2), and the Hamming Code

Alignment Gates

Use these gates before marking the active goal complete.

Gate	Evidence required	Current status
Foundation material generated	Full fresh-start foundation lessons, chapters, assessment, and progress tracker exist	Done
Frontier material generated	Full frontier-alignment lessons, chapters, assessment, and progress tracker exist	Done
Source trace exists	Heptabase provenance and Conjecture 3 frontier source maps exist	Done
Learner intake path exists	diagnostic-intake.md, diagnostic-intake-key.md, and session-log.md exist	Done
Foundation learner readiness	Learner completes the foundation course or passes the foundation assessment rubric	Not yet
Frontier learner alignment	Learner passes assessment-rubric.md	Not yet
Progress updated	learner-progress.md records completion evidence and next research target	Not yet

How Future Sessions Should Continue

1. Read learner-progress.md.
2. Read session-protocol.md.
3. Read the active course progress tracker.
4. Read session-log.md.
5. If no learner evidence exists, ask diagnostic-intake.md Mode A and grade with diagnostic-intake-key.md.
6. If foundations are not complete, continue the foundation lesson path.
7. If the learner wants to skip ahead, grade the foundation assessment rubric.
8. If foundations are complete, continue the frontier-alignment lesson path.
9. Use the frontier assessment rubric only after Lessons 01-09 of the frontier course.
10. Do not mark learner alignment complete from lesson files alone. Require diagnostic evidence.

Completion Rule

The active goal is complete only when both conditions hold:

• the generated repo corpus covers the current Conjecture 3 frontier; and
• the learner has passed the relevant diagnostics, with the result recorded in learner-progress.md.

Until both are true, the correct state is: material generated, learner alignment pending.
