RTT Medical Operator Lab — Instructor Version
Instructor Materials for the Tri‑Regime Medical Module#
RTT/1‑Aligned • Zero Drift • Structural • Student‑Safe#
Instructor Overview#
This lab teaches students how to run the five medical operators:
- MEDICAL_METADATA_OPERATOR
- MEDICAL_DRIFT_OPERATOR
- MEDICAL_SUBSTRATE_OPERATOR
- MEDICAL_REGIME_OPERATOR
- MEDICAL_CONTINUITY_OPERATOR
- MEDICAL_SYNTHESIS_OPERATOR (capstone)
Students work with three medical regimes:
- Cleveland Clinic (US clinical)
- Ping An Good Doctor (China AI‑augmented)
- NHS.uk (UK public‑health)
The goal is to teach:
- drift awareness
- substrate literacy
- regime differences
- continuity kernel extraction
- patient‑safe synthesis
Students never produce medical advice.
They produce structural clarity.
Instructor Notes (Global)#
- Students must work with structural elements only (symptoms, risk factors, red flags, escalation logic).
- Students must never copy text from real medical pages.
- Students must use the example JSON packets provided in
/docs/medicine/examples/. - Students must treat Ping An as high‑drift, translation‑unstable, AI‑augmented, and commercially influenced.
- Students must treat NHS as very low drift, clarity‑first, and public‑health oriented.
- Students must treat Cleveland Clinic as clinical baseline.
- Students must always disclose uncertainty and escalation indicators.
- Students must never collapse regime differences into a single narrative.
- Students must always identify drift sources before synthesizing.
Lab Structure (Instructor Version)#
Each step below includes:
- Student Task
- Instructor Expectations
- Common Pitfalls
- Grading Notes
STEP 1 — MEDICAL_METADATA_OPERATOR#
Identify substrate, noise, translation layers, AI overlays, commercial layers.#
Student Task#
Students ingest the three example JSON files and extract:
- substrate type
- substrate stability
- noise level
- translation stability
- commercial overlays
- AI augmentation
- accessibility stability
- drift sensitivity
- regime hint
Instructor Expectations#
Students should correctly identify:
| Regime | Expected Metadata |
|---|---|
| Cleveland Clinic | html, low noise, stable, no overlays |
| Ping An | mobile_html, high noise, translation drift, AI overlays, commercial layers |
| NHS | html, very low noise, stable, clarity‑first |
Common Pitfalls#
- Treating Ping An as stable
- Missing translation drift
- Missing commercial overlays
- Assuming all HTML is equal
- Forgetting accessibility stability
Grading Notes#
Full credit requires:
- correct substrate classification
- correct noise identification
- correct overlay detection
- correct regime hint
STEP 2 — MEDICAL_DRIFT_OPERATOR#
Detect template, semantic, translation, AI, commercial, and regime drift.#
Student Task#
Students compute drift maps for each regime using the example packets.
Instructor Expectations#
- Cleveland Clinic → low drift
- Ping An → high drift
- NHS → very low drift
Students must identify:
- template drift
- semantic drift
- translation drift
- AI drift
- commercial drift
- regime drift
Common Pitfalls#
- Underestimating Ping An drift
- Missing AI‑generated instability
- Missing commercial drift
- Treating NHS as “no drift” instead of “very low drift”
Grading Notes#
Full credit requires:
- correct drift classification
- correct drift flags
- correct drift score reasoning
STEP 3 — MEDICAL_SUBSTRATE_OPERATOR#
Evaluate substrate stability, interference, and risk.#
Student Task#
Students evaluate:
- substrate stability
- substrate noise
- layer interference
- accessibility stability
- translation/commercial/AI layers
Instructor Expectations#
- Cleveland Clinic → stable, low noise
- Ping An → unstable, high interference
- NHS → very stable, minimal interference
Common Pitfalls#
- Ignoring accessibility
- Treating mobile_html as equivalent to html
- Missing interference layers
Grading Notes#
Full credit requires:
- correct substrate packet
- correct interference identification
- correct substrate score
STEP 4 — MEDICAL_REGIME_OPERATOR#
Classify regime logic and detect regime coherence or shifts.#
Student Task#
Students classify each example into:
- clinical regime
- AI‑augmented commercial regime
- public‑health regime
Instructor Expectations#
- Cleveland Clinic → clinical
- Ping An → AI‑augmented commercial
- NHS → public‑health
Students must identify:
- regime signals
- regime coherence
- regime shifts
Common Pitfalls#
- Treating Ping An as clinical
- Missing regime shifts
- Overlooking public‑health framing
Grading Notes#
Full credit requires:
- correct regime classification
- correct regime signals
- correct coherence assessment
STEP 5 — MEDICAL_CONTINUITY_OPERATOR#
Extract the continuity kernel across regimes.#
Student Task#
Students compute:
- stable symptoms
- stable risk factors
- stable red flags
- stable actions
- stable differentials
Instructor Expectations#
Students must produce a regime‑invariant continuity kernel.
Expected stable elements:
- symptoms: discomfort, pressure, shortness of breath
- risks: age, chronic illness, hypertension
- red flags: severe pain, difficulty breathing, fainting
- actions: emergency escalation for red flags
- differentials: cardiac, pulmonary, musculoskeletal
Common Pitfalls#
- Including regime‑specific elements
- Including AI‑generated suggestions
- Including commercial prompts
- Including translation artifacts
Grading Notes#
Full credit requires:
- correct continuity kernel
- correct exclusion of drift‑sensitive elements
STEP 6 — MEDICAL_SYNTHESIS_OPERATOR#
Produce a drift‑bounded, regime‑aware, patient‑safe synthesis.#
Student Task#
Students integrate all upstream packets to produce:
- stable elements
- unstable elements
- regime‑specific elements
- drift‑sensitive elements
- substrate risks
- uncertainty flags
- escalation indicators
- patient‑safe summary
Instructor Expectations#
Students must:
- preserve continuity kernel
- separate regime‑specific differences
- disclose uncertainty
- identify escalation indicators
- avoid medical advice
- avoid collapsing regimes
Common Pitfalls#
- Writing medical advice
- Collapsing regimes into one narrative
- Ignoring drift
- Ignoring substrate risks
- Missing uncertainty disclosure
Grading Notes#
Full credit requires:
- correct synthesis packet
- correct regime separation
- correct uncertainty disclosure
- correct escalation indicators
- patient‑safe summary
Instructor Rubric (10‑Point Scale)#
| Category | Points | Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Metadata | 2 | Correct substrate/noise/overlays |
| Drift | 2 | Correct drift map + flags |
| Substrate | 1 | Correct stability + interference |
| Regime | 1 | Correct regime classification |
| Continuity | 2 | Correct continuity kernel |
| Synthesis | 2 | Patient‑safe, drift‑bounded, regime‑aware |
A score of 9–10 indicates full operator literacy.
Instructor Closing Notes#
This lab trains students to:
- see medical information structurally
- identify drift and instability
- understand regime differences
- extract continuity kernels
- produce safe, stable, cross‑regime synthesis
It is the medical equivalent of the archive_org operator lab — but tuned for:
- multilingual drift
- AI‑generated instability
- commercial overlays
- public‑health framing
- clinical conservatism
