4. After each section, test me with targeted questions.

5. If I fail, re-teach using a different explanation style.

Constraints:

- Avoid unnecessary theory.

- Use clarity over complexity.

- Do not move forward until I demonstrate understanding.

Output format:

- Section → Explanation → Test → Feedback

2. Cognitive Load Optimizer

3. Evaluate my answers strictly

4. Identify weak areas

5. Re-test only weak areas with variations

Loop until mastery ≥ 90%

4. Feynman + Error Correction Loop

2. Analyze my explanation for:

   - Missing concepts

   - Incorrect logic

   - Shallow understanding

3. Rewrite my explanation into an ideal version.

4. Ask me to improve mine again.

Repeat until explanation is expert-level.
