This Machine Learning concept is the current idea: keep the same invariant visible across Intuition, Math, Code, Interactive Demo.

Intuition

Build the mental picture first so the rest of the page has something to attach to.

Section prompt

Minimization decides what fields may remain. Search boundaries decide what a particular query may see.

That distinction matters because the same memory can be safe in one context and unsafe in another. A tutor asking for yesterday's misconception may need concept mastery, hints, and practice history. A guardian request may need progress summaries but not raw prompts. A researcher query may need aggregate signals but not contact details. A legal data request may need consent records and receipts. A learner reflection query may need strengths and next steps, not peer comparison details.

A strong search boundary separates seven decisions:

search a zone when the role, purpose, age band, and minimized field set all match,
restrict a zone to a narrower role or purpose,
exclude fields that should never appear in the query response,
require human review for sensitive or ambiguous memory,
filter the query when it asks for disallowed fields,
explain why memory was shown, hidden, or transformed,
and log an access receipt when the query touches governed memory.

The habit is simple: searchable memory is not one bucket. It is a set of query-time gates.

Math

Translate the story into symbols, assumptions, and a derivation you can inspect.

Section prompt

Equation 1 $q=(r,p,c),$ Equation 2 $B(f_i)=(R_i,P_i,Z_i,H_i,E_i,A_i),$

Let a query be

q=(r,p,c),

where $r$ is requester role, $p$ is purpose, and $c$ is context such as age band, consent state, and support status. Let a minimized field $f_i$ have boundary metadata:

B(f_i)=(R_i,P_i,Z_i,H_i,E_i,A_i),

where $R_i$ is allowed roles, $P_i$ is allowed purposes, $Z_i$ is the field zone, $H_i$ marks human-review holds, $E_i$ marks explanation readiness, and $A_i$ marks audit readiness.

The query may see field $f_i$ only when:

\operatorname{visible}(q,f_i)= \mathbb{1}[r \in R_i]\mathbb{1}[p \in P_i]\mathbb{1}[Z_i=\text{searchable}]\mathbb{1}[\neg H_i].

The boundary action still follows hard gates:

\operatorname{boundary}(q,f_i)= \begin{cases} \text{require review}, & \text{if the field is sensitive and unresolved},\\ \text{exclude field}, & \text{if the zone is excluded},\\ \text{filter query}, & \text{if the query asks for disallowed fields},\\ \text{restrict role}, & \text{if role or purpose is too broad},\\ \text{explain boundary}, & \text{if the learner-facing explanation is missing},\\ \text{log access}, & \text{if governed memory is visible but no receipt exists},\\ \text{allow search}, & \text{if role, purpose, field zone, review, explanation, and logging checks pass}. \end{cases}

The goal is not to answer every policy question automatically. The goal is to make the query-time boundary explicit.

Code

Keep the implementation aligned with the notation so the algorithm is legible.

query = {
    "role": "tutor",
    "purpose": "provide_explanation",
    "requested_fields": {"concept_mastery", "hint_usage"},
}

field = {
    "name": "concept_mastery",
    "zone": "searchable",
    "allowed_roles": {"tutor", "teacher"},
    "allowed_purposes": {"provide_explanation", "support_delivery"},
    "review_hold": False,
    "explanation_ready": True,
    "receipt_logged": True,
}

if field["review_hold"]:
    action = "require review"
elif field["zone"] == "excluded":
    action = "exclude field"
elif field["name"] not in query["requested_fields"] and field["zone"] != "searchable":
    action = "filter query"
elif query["role"] not in field["allowed_roles"] or query["purpose"] not in field["allowed_purposes"]:
    action = "restrict role"
elif not field["explanation_ready"]:
    action = "explain boundary"
elif not field["receipt_logged"]:
    action = "log access"
else:
    action = "allow search"

print(action)

Real systems should attach a requester role, purpose, field zone, age/consent context, explanation, and access receipt to every governed memory query.

Interactive Demo

Use direct manipulation to connect the explanation to a moving system.

Section prompt

Use the Memory Search Boundaries lab to predict what a query may see:

Ready search: decide when a minimized learning signal can be searched.
Role mismatch: decide when a field should be role-restricted.
Excluded raw: decide when raw data must stay out of search.
Review hold: decide when sensitive memory needs human review.
Query overreach: decide when the query itself must be filtered.
Explanation missing: decide when a boundary needs clearer learner-facing copy.
Audit gap: decide when a visible memory response needs an access receipt.

Before reveal, exact query proof, field-zone evidence, and receipt details stay locked. After reveal, inspect the boundary action that controls what the query may see.
