Acoustic learning
Standard headphones. Test optimized speech, sound associations, active recall, adaptive repetition, and progressive information compression.
Demonstrate repeatable learning improvement against ordinary instruction.
Current scope
Early research and prototyping. The public platform documents questions, sources, and an initial personal observation. It is not a working cognitive codec.
The gate between stages
Define a protocol. Compare against controls. Measure delayed retention and transfer. Reproduce the result. Reconsider complexity if the simpler approach performs as well.
Possible future sleep loop: daytime learning → identify weak memories → supervised sleep detection → targeted cueing → next-day retention test → update learner model. None of these sleep capabilities is implemented today.
