OPEN-SOURCE + EXTERNAL KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION
The objective is not to reproduce sources. It is to create original, structured educational material while preserving clear attribution, copyright boundaries, and an answer to the question:
Where did this information come from?
ECONOMIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH CENTER
Technology & Innovation
CORE KNOWLEDGE MODEL
SOURCE PRIORITY
Official documentation, standards bodies, regulators, government agencies, universities, scientific institutions, original research, and manufacturer documentation.
Preferred whenever the subject requires a definitive or current source.OpenCourseWare, open textbooks, university resources, public educational repositories, open-access journals, and research repositories.
Record the license whenever it is available.Established publications, engineering organizations, professional learning sites, technical communities, and high-quality tutorials.
Use only after authority, accuracy, currency, relevance, license, and conflicts are assessed.TRACEABILITY
CITATION SYSTEM
Preserve author, title, edition, publisher, year, ISBN when appropriate, chapter, section, and page only when reliably available. Never invent a page number.
Preserve title, organization, publication or update date when available, version, access date, and direct source link. A citation must actually support the statement.
Organize substantial lessons into Academy Library; Official Documentation; Research & Academic Sources; Standards & Regulatory Sources; OER; and Further Reading.
CURRENCY + CONFLICTS
A book may teach a durable principle while current official documentation establishes today’s API, platform behavior, specification, regulation, or implementation.
Do not silently choose. Describe the disagreement, preserve historical context, and prefer current primary or authoritative sources when implementation has changed.
Search ranking is not authority. Unverified information is labeled Verification Required, never presented as established fact.
COPYRIGHT + LICENSING
The Academy creates original explanations and cites underlying sources. It does not copy substantial portions of copyrighted works, claim reuse rights that have not been verified, or attribute external information to a textbook that does not contain it.
Prioritize SEC, FINRA, CFTC, Federal Reserve, exchange documentation, issuer filings, official economic data, and peer-reviewed research. Distinguish historical data, analysis, simulation, opinion, and current market information. Never promise guaranteed returns.
Record jurisdiction, regulatory authority, rule or regulation, effective date, source, and last verified. Do not present superseded regulations as current or educational material as individualized legal advice.
Use Library books for durable concepts and current official software, hardware, robotics, AI, electronics, and engineering documentation whenever implementation details matter.
