Bounded contract

Proposal for a bounded university tutoring aid that supports guided inquiry, source comparison, lesson pathways, study records, and explicit uncertainty marking. The source record identifies Socrates as owner but does not prove implementation, connection, qualification, deployment, or authority.

Owners

• Socrates
• University guide and tutor entity

Inputs

• Student questions or learning goals
• Candidate sources supplied by a student or tutor
• Source-comparison criteria
• Lesson or course context supplied by an authorized user
• Study notes and uncertainty observations
• Tutor instructions within the bounded teaching protocol

Outputs

• Guided inquiry prompts
• Structured source comparisons
• Proposed lesson pathways
• Study-record entries
• Uncertainty markers and unresolved-evidence notes
• Citation-rule reminders

Required or proposed record references

The list defines expected records; it does not assert that any record instance exists.

• Student-provided source details
• Source comparison rationale
• Lesson-pathway assumptions
• Uncertainty markings
• Study-record provenance
• Tutor or reviewer decisions where applicable
