Title: Lattice Coordinate Standard (BukitTimahTutor)
Definition Lock
Lattice Coordinates (BukitTimahTutor Standard) are stable IDs that encode what an education-system node is and how it connects, so content becomes a machine-readable lattice (graph), not a pile of tuition articles.
A coordinate is not a label.
A coordinate is an identity. It must never be renamed.
1) Coordinate Grammar (Canonical)
All BukitTimahTutor coordinates must follow:
BTT.<LANE>.Z<ZOOM>.<ROLE>.<TYPE>.<ID>
Example
BTT.MAT.Z0.P.ALG.001
Meaning:
BTT= BukitTimahTutor domain latticeMAT= Mathematics laneZ0= atomic execution levelP= pipeline (process that must regenerate)ALG= type code (algebra)001= stable numeric ID (never reused)
2) Allowed Values (Strict)
(A) Lanes (LANE)
Use only these codes (you can expand later, but don’t rename):
EDU— education pipeline / transitions (system-level)MAT— mathematics execution laneENG— English lane (optional later)EXM— examinations & assessment lanePAR— parent/household support laneTUI— tuition delivery lane (operator mechanics)SEN— sensors / diagnostics lane
Rule: Use the smallest lane that is still correct.
If it’s a math skill pocket, it’s MAT. If it’s exams timing, it’s EXM. If it’s dependency detection, it’s SEN.
(B) Zoom (Z)
Zoom describes where the mechanism lives:
Z0— atomic execution pockets (skills under time pressure)Z1— support loops (home + tuition scaffolding, routines, dependencies)Z2— institutional/exam pipeline stage (Sec1→Sec4, O-Level binds, transitions)Z3— Singapore education interfaces (syllabus, exam structure, placement)
Rule: Zoom is not “difficulty.” Zoom is “system location.”
(C) Role (ROLE)
Role describes the system function:
N— node (entity/page: Sec 3 A-Math, a topic cluster)P— pipeline (repeatable process that must regenerate)B— bind (interface/constraint: O-Level, WA, EOY)S— sensor (diagnostic: TTC, dependency, false competence)
(D) Type (TYPE)
Type is a 2–6 letter code. Use uppercase. Examples:
Mathematics (MAT)
ALGalgebra controlDIFdifferentiationGEOgeometry/mensurationTRItrigonometry (optional later)PRBproblem solving (optional later)
Exams (EXM)
SECsecondary exam pipelineWAweighted assessment bindEOYend-of-year bindOLEVO-Level bind
Support loops
HOMhousehold study loopSCFscaffolding loop
Sensors (SEN)
TTCtime-to-complete / time pressureDEPprompt dependencyFCGfalse competence gaugeERRerror pattern class
(E) ID (ID)
001, 002, 003…
Rule: IDs are stable identities, not versions.
Never change an ID. Never reuse an ID. Never “fix” an ID.
If something changes meaningfully:
- create a new coordinate (new ID),
- link old → new with “Version Forward” notes.
3) Naming Rules (Do Not Cannibalise)
Your SEO pages must not fight each other. Use this anchor policy:
(A) Hub pages get broad anchors
Only hubs use broad phrases like:
- “Bukit Timah Tutor”
- “Secondary Math Tuition Bukit Timah”
- “How Bukit Timah Tutor works”
(B) Node pages always include the coordinate
Anchor format:<Node Name> (<COORDINATE>)
Example:
- Secondary 3 A-Math (BTT.MAT.Z2.N.AM3.001)
This prevents “Secondary 3 A-Math” pages from cannibalising other pages.
(C) Inversion tests always include “(Inversion Test)”
Example:
- How Mathematics Does Not Work (Inversion Test)
4) Required Sections (Every Page Must Have These)
To be lattice-valid, every page must include:
- Lattice Coordinates Referenced (min 5)
- Edges Created (BindsTo / Impacts) (min 3)
- Sensors Mentioned (min 1)
- Lattice Closure Footer links (Hub + Index + Standard)
This makes every article machine-readable as a graph node.
5) Edge Vocabulary (Use only these words)
Keep edge semantics clean:
- BindsTo = structural link / dependence (pipeline coupling)
- Impacts = directional influence (variance, load, drift)
- Observes = sensor detects the signature
- EscalatesTo = entry → endpoint routing (optional for healthcare style)
- Stabilises = recovery action reduces variance (optional)
Rule: Default to BindsTo and Impacts.
6) Canonical Examples (Use these as templates)
Example A — Skill pipeline
BTT.MAT.Z0.P.ALG.001
- BindsTo
BTT.EXM.Z2.P.SEC.001 - ObservedBy
BTT.SEN.Z0.S.TTC.001
Example B — Grade node
BTT.MAT.Z2.N.SEC3.001
- BindsTo
BTT.MAT.Z0.P.ALG.001 - Impacts
BTT.SEN.Z1.S.FCG.001(false competence becomes visible here)
Example C — Dependency sensor
BTT.SEN.Z1.S.DEP.001
- Impacts
BTT.EXM.Z2.B.OLEV.001(dependency causes rupture under exam load)
7) Version Forward Rule (Never Rename)
If you later improve the model:
- Do not edit old coordinates to mean new things.
- Create a new coordinate with a new ID.
- Add a line:
Version Forward: OldCoord → NewCoord (why)
This keeps Google’s graph stable.
8) WordPress Lattice Footer (Required)
