Thought Corridors as a Computable Object — CorridorID Schema + Sensors (Canonical) v1.0

(Almost-Code spec so you can enumerate corridors across EducationOS/MindOS/LanguageOS.)

Canonical One-Liner

A Thought Corridor is a versioned, testable traversal path through the Vocabulary/English lattice that produces stable output under load; corridors can be measured, gated, promoted, and retired like executable routes.

1) Corridor Object Definition

Corridor (concept)

A corridor is not “an idea.”
A corridor is a repeatable path that can generate many outputs.

Examples:

  • an explanation corridor (“define → example → counterexample → conclusion”)
  • a composition corridor (“hook → build tension → climax → reflection”)
  • a math corridor (“identify structure → transform → solve → check”)
  • a decision corridor (“scope lock → options → gate → execute → review”)

2) CorridorID Schema (Stable, Versioned)

Use your frozen-ID grammar style:

CorridorID = Lane×Zoom×Role×Type×ID×v

Where:

  • Lane: {EDU, VOC, LANG, IDEA, GOV, etc.}
  • Zoom: {Z0..Z6}
  • Role: {A, V, O, Op} (or hybrids like A·O)
  • Type: {Explain, Write, Solve, Decide, Plan, Audit, Repair}
  • ID: unique string (never renamed)
  • v: version (forward-only)

Example:

  • LANG×Z0×Op×Write×Narrative5Box×v1.0
  • IDEA×Z2×O×Audit×ScopeLock×v1.0
  • EDU×Z0×Op×Solve×AlgebraTransform×v1.0

3) Corridor Record (Minimal Fields)

Required fields

  • CorridorID
  • Definition (what it does; output type)
  • EntryConditions (what must be true to start)
  • Steps (ordered binds; the traversal)
  • ExitConditions (what success looks like)
  • FailureModes (common collapse points)
  • Sensors (what to measure)
  • Gates (promotion/stress tests)
  • OwnerRole (who maintains: Op/O/V/A)
  • Dependencies (needed nodes/binds)
  • Status (Draft / Gated / SOP / Retired)
  • Version

4) Sensors (Corridor Health Metrics)

S1 — Corridor Stability Under Load

  • timed performance variance
  • error rate under stress
  • completion probability

S2 — Transfer Pass Rate (Truth Test)

  • same corridor succeeds across:
  • new topic
  • new wording
  • new constraint
  • new audience

S3 — Brittleness Index (Collapse Points)

  • count of known failure points
  • sensitivity to minor perturbations

S4 — Repair Latency

  • time from detected failure → stable re-run

S5 — Symmetry Load Contribution

  • how many choices/forks it injects into execution
  • contribution to (\rho)

5) Corridor Collapse Points (Standard List)

Common collapse points to encode:

  1. Scope drift (doesn’t answer the question)
  2. Bind gap (missing connector/grammar/logic step)
  3. Retrieval failure (word/step not accessible under time)
  4. Branch explosion (too many forks; indecision)
  5. Transfer failure (works only in one context)
  6. Timing failure (cannot complete within window)

These map directly to NV patterns (NV-9, NV-10, NV-11, NV-5).

6) Gates (Promotion Tests)

A corridor can only be promoted from Draft → SOP if it passes:

G1 — Time Gate

  • succeeds under timed conditions

G2 — Critique Gate

  • survives counterargument / correction

G3 — Transfer Gate

  • succeeds across context swaps

G4 — Operator Gate

  • can be executed with low choice (symmetry preserved)

7) Corridor Lifecycle (Versioned)

  • Draft: explored (Architect/Operator prototypes)
  • Gated: passed G1–G3 tests (Oracle approval)
  • SOP: stabilised for execution (Operator interior)
  • Retired: replaced or unsafe under new constraints (kept as historical record)

Rule: never rename CorridorID; retire and version forward only.

8) Failure Mode Trace (Required)

Corridor missing binds → instability under time → transfer fails → exceptions added → (\rho) rises → corridor fragments → output collapses → repair latency rises → drift unless truncated + repaired + re-gated.
