Map what you know onto what you do not.

Protocol

Four stages. Two sources. A break list. Then a calendar.

1. 01

   Map

   Two sources. Predicates only. Dual-code Σ. Hide jargon.

2. 02

   Breaks

   Why-prompts, then at least three places M fails.

3. 03

   Scaffold

   Worked case, partial outline, fade the help.

4. 04

   Retrieve

   Immediate unaided test. Spacing is +1 / +3 / +7 days.

• 01

  Analogical Schema Transfer

  Map relations, not surface features.

• 02

  Elaborative Interrogation

  Ask why the mechanism must be so.

• 03

  Dual-Coding

  Hold the graph in language and in space at once.

• 04

  Retrieval Practice

  Pull the schema out with the notes gone. Space it later.

• 05

  Cognitive Load

  Strip jargon until the graph fits in four chunks.

• 06

  Metacognitive Prompting

  Check whether you only feel like you understand.

• 07

  Dynamic Scaffolding

  Hold the task, then take your hands off.

Limits

Orientation in minutes. Not expertise, and not coefficients.

The protocol compresses first contact when you already own a dense relational graph. It will not substitute for target-domain feedback. An isomorphism of form is not an isomorphism of parameters — Ohm does not give you the tax on capital; r⁴ does not give you book-depth elasticity. Stage 4 is retrieval practice. Spacing is a later date.
