NESTOR.

Nestor is the education and mentoring specialist. It builds individualised teaching plans, runs tutoring dialogues, and mentors over the long term, with every lesson and assessment carrying a signed lineage trail tied to its curricular sources. A teacher can audit which evidence drove a recommendation for a particular learner. Nestor coordinates with the domain brain XAVIER on curriculum design. Outputs carry an educational disclaimer.

• 01Individualised tutoring and pedagogical dialogue
• 02Teaching-plan and assessment construction with signed lineage
• 03Long-term mentoring and progress tracking
• 04Accessibility and learning-difference accommodation

Authoritative external corpora and standards this brain treats as canonical. Every retrieval against these sources is signed into the audit ledger so a regulator can prove which evidence drove which output.

• 01UK Department for Education curriculum frameworks
• 02EEF Education Endowment Foundation toolkit
• 03Bloom's Taxonomy and revisions
• 04OECD PISA reports
• 05International Baccalaureate curriculum guides
• 06BERA British Educational Research Association publications
• 07Cognitive-science-of-learning research (retrieval practice, spacing)
• 08AP and A-Level specifications
• 09ResearchED proceedings

Mickai-native tooling primitives this brain implements internally. Codex for sovereign plain-text graph PKM, Lectern for spaced-repetition memory, Stele for citation-provenance, and domain-native primitives layered on top. No external services in the trust path; data stays on operator-personalised hardware.

• 03Tablet (concept-graph teaching outliner)
