Out of Scope (Per Vision Doctrine)

Feature	Reason
Traditional accreditation	Not sought, not pursued, not revisited (Principle 4)
Under-16 learners	COPPA avoidance; AI school floor is 16+
Marketplace for under-18	Marketplace restricted to 18+ with verified identity
Human tutors in core school	Humans exist only in open marketplace as third-party sellers
Graded written exams without process trace	Trivially solvable by frontier AI; process-trace + oral defense more valid
Legacy job titles in curriculum	Programs train for AI-era roles, not obsolete ones
Junk advertising	Ad quality enforced algorithmically; relevant ads only
