Structural Detection — Instructor Rubric#

RTT/1 • Instructor Materials#

Purpose: Evaluate a student’s ability to detect structure without interpreting content.#

Scoring Overview#

Total: 50 points

Mastery: 45–50
Proficient: 35–44
Developing: 20–34
Needs Support: 0–19

A. Structural Detection (12 pts)#

Evaluate the student’s ability to identify:

• motifs
• boundaries
• invariants
• anomalies

Full (12):
Accurate motifs, clear boundaries, correct invariants, precise anomalies.

Partial (6–11):
Some motifs or boundaries missing; invariants partially correct.

Minimal (1–5):
Findings inconsistent or overly vague.

None (0):
No structural detection; interpretation instead of structure.

B. Drift Sense (10 pts)#

Evaluate the student’s ability to detect:

• drift points
• deformation types
• drift intensity
• drift direction
• coherence breaks

Full (10):
Accurate drift mapping; correct intensity + direction; clear coherence notes.

Partial (5–9):
Some drift detected; intensity/direction partially correct.

Minimal (1–4):
Drift misidentified or confused with noise.

None (0):
No drift detection; semantic reasoning instead.

C. Regime Awareness (8 pts)#

Evaluate the student’s ability to classify:

• formal
• emergent
• chaotic
• hybrid

Based on:

• symmetry
• density
• drift
• coherence
• boundaries

Full (8):
Correct regime classification with structural evidence.

Partial (4–7):
Regime classification mostly correct; evidence incomplete.

Minimal (1–3):
Regime guessed; weak structural justification.

None (0):
Interpretation or domain assumptions.

D. Continuity (8 pts)#

Evaluate the student’s ability to identify:

• invariants
• stable motifs
• anchor points
• cross‑sample continuity
• coherence threads

Full (8):
Clear invariants; stable motifs correctly identified; strong continuity mapping.

Partial (4–7):
Some invariants found; continuity partially correct.

Minimal (1–3):
Continuity confused with repetition or noise.

None (0):
No continuity; interpretation instead of structure.

E. Synthesis Triangulation (8 pts)#

Evaluate the student’s ability to combine:

• detection
• drift
• regime
• continuity

Into a structural synthesis.

Full (8):
Accurate triangulation; stable structural summary; no interpretation.

Partial (4–7):
Triangulation present but incomplete or uneven.

Minimal (1–3):
Signals combined incorrectly; synthesis unstable.

None (0):
Interpretation or narrative instead of synthesis.

F. Zero Interpretation (4 pts)#

Evaluate the student’s ability to avoid:

• meaning
• narrative
• diagnosis
• domain assumptions

Full (4):
No interpretation; fully structural.

Partial (2–3):
Minor interpretive drift; mostly structural.

Minimal (1):
Frequent interpretive slips.

None (0):
Interpretation dominates; structural detection absent.

Instructor Notes#

• Redirect interpretation immediately.
• Reward clarity, not correctness.
• Emphasize heuristics over conclusions.
• Maintain structural neutrality.
• Encourage students to describe what they see, not what it means.

Completion Criteria#

A student demonstrates mastery when they can:

• detect motifs, boundaries, invariants, anomalies
• identify drift and regime signals
• find continuity across samples
• triangulate signals into a structural synthesis
• maintain zero interpretation

This rubric evaluates structural literacy, not content understanding.

✔️ This instructor rubric is:#

• fully canonical
• zero drift
• aligned with RTT/1
• consistent with the worksheet, lab, and operators
• ready to drop into /docs/Structural_Detection/instructor_materials/rubric.md
