Abstract

Version Note (v1.0.1)This release added a front-attached Domain of Application and Lens Clarification.No canonical content was modified. No operational, interpretive, or prescriptive material was introduced. Regulation-Aligned Schooling (RAS) remains a descriptive, non-prescriptive, and non-applicative framework. It does not propose interventions, programmes, training, implementation guidance, or policy directives. It does not assess individuals, diagnose conditions, or prescribe behavioural, therapeutic, or pedagogical practices. RAS defines structural constraints required for schooling systems to function without predictable regulatory overload. Its function is classificatory and preventative: to identify design-level failure conditions, role boundary violations, and misuse risks that arise when regulatory load exceeds system capacity. The framework remained canonically closed in v1.0.1. Version Note (v1.2)This version introduces a final non-canonical descriptive note placed at the end of the document. No canonical sections have been modified.No principles, constraints, definitions, or boundaries have been revised, extended, or reinterpreted. The added material is orientation-only. Its sole purpose is to clarify the interpretive conditions that Regulation-Aligned Schooling (RAS) is designed to constrain, without proposing action, implementation, or application. All prior versions remain valid and citable. This work is subject to the Irwin Canonical Corpus Freeze Declaration (2026).
