The use of the “mirror” (AI) is not accessory: it exists to sustain, tension, and guide the evolution of this intuition, not to replace it.<\/p>\n This document explicates the logic of this system\u2014a pedagogical code that defines assessment as a horizon of intellectual maturation, not as an endpoint.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n INVIOLABLE PRINCIPLES<\/strong><\/p>\n 1.

\nArtificial Intelligence is a cognitive instrument, not an epistemological authority. The definition of problems, assessment criteria, and the conceptual value of answers remains the sole responsibility of the professor-researcher.<\/p>\n
\nThe AIs are not treated as a homogeneous block but as components of a distributed cognitive architecture:<\/p>\n
\n\u00b7 DeepSeek: Logical rigor, structural auditing, and metacognition.
\n\u00b7 ChatGPT: Narrative organization, didactic clarity, and conceptual reconstruction.<\/p>\n
\nThe path of thought matters as much as the final result. The student’s dialogue with the mirror, including their hesitations and reformulations, can\u2014when pertinent\u2014become an explicit part of the assessed process.<\/p>\n
\nAssessment of formal fluency. The student demonstrates autonomous mastery of the operational language of Quantum Mechanics.
\n\u00b7 DESIGN
\nCanonical, well-defined problems where the central challenge is to correctly execute the formalism. The time criterion serves as a design reference for fluency, not as a fetish.
\n\u00b7 INSTRUCTOR’S KEY QUESTION
\n“Has the student internalized the formalism to the point of operating it without external support?”
\n\u00b7 ROLE OF AI
\nNone. Restricted assessment.<\/p>\n
\nA space for technical and conceptual reconstruction from errors. Here, error is treated as pedagogical data.
\n\u00b7 DESIGN
\nCritical analysis of Part S solutions, identification of reasoning flaws, and reconstruction of the correct path.
\n\u00b7 INSTRUCTOR’S KEY QUESTION
\n“Did the student understand why they erred and how the formalism is correctly organized?”
\n\u00b7 ROLE OF AI
\nTechnical tutor, calculation auditor, or reasoning organizer\u2014never the primary source of solutions.<\/p>\n
\nA space for deep conceptual investigation. C2 does not aim to test fluency, but to force a reorganization of the student’s physical intuition.
\n\u00b7 CENTRAL PRINCIPLE
\nC2 only works if it cannot be satisfactorily solved using only the technique from Part S.
\n\u00b7 DESIGN PILLARS
\n1. Originates from a real conflict: Paradoxes, limits of formalism, counterintuitive results, or changes in physical regime.
\n2. Demands the mirror: The AI acts as a Socratic interlocutor: it questions, tests hypotheses, offers counterexamples and analogies.
\n3. Produces authorial synthesis: The final deliverable is reflective and conceptual, documenting the evolution of the student’s understanding.
\n4. Generates productive discomfort: The student should feel their initial understanding was insufficient\u2014and that a reorganization has occurred.
\n\u00b7 INSTRUCTOR’S KEY QUESTION
\n“Did this experience change how the student thinks about the theory, not just how they calculate it?”
\n\u00b7 ROLE OF AI
\nActive cognitive mirror: A tool for crisis and for the reconstruction of intuition.<\/p>\n
\nPart C1 ensures they understand its grammar.
\nPart C2 verifies if this language has begun to produce their own physical thought.<\/p>\n
