Scope correction: knowledge rather than understanding

The learner clarified that the requested summary concerned their current conception of knowledge, not their model of understanding. The prior response was therefore out of scope. Its former summary files have been marked as superseded rather than treated as learning evidence.

No new account of knowledge has yet been collected. The next action is one compact clarification about what aspect of knowledge the learner wants examined or summarised.

Knowledge: concepts, types, and contrasts

The learner confirmed that they want to examine knowledge itself: what it is, its types, examples, and contrasts with similar concepts. A bilingual working note now distinguishes philosophical forms of knowledge (propositional knowledge, knowledge-how, and acquaintance) from learning-function categories (factual, conceptual, procedural, conditional/strategic, and metacognitive knowledge). It also contrasts knowledge with data, information, belief, opinion, evidence, truth, understanding, skill, wisdom, and mastery.

This was an explanatory session only. It adds no independent learner performance evidence. The proposed next drill is to classify one everyday statement and rule out its neighbouring categories.
