Curriculum Load Balancer

Calibrating the architecture of instruction against the limits of working memory.

Parameters

1=Simple fact retrieval → 7=Abstract systems theory
0=Quiet room → 5=Uncontrolled environment
0=Lecture only → 5=Full worked examples + analogies

Projection

Intrinsic Cost 3.0
Environmental Noise 2.0
Support Vector -2.0
Net Cognitive Load 3.0
SUSTAINABLE

Working memory capacity remains within Miller's bounds (7±2). Proceed with direct instruction.

GROUNDED IN: Cognitive Load Theory (Sweller, Chandler, 1991).
FORMULA: Net Load = Intrinsic + Extraneous − Germane.
CAPACITY LIMIT: 7 discrete units (Miller, 1956). Safe operating range ≤ 5.
