- Purpose: Explain only the AI concepts that change factory architecture, cost, security, evaluation, or operations decisions.
- Core rule: Models are replaceable runtime dependencies. Authority, state, verification, and recovery organize the factory.
- Design test: If a concept does not change selection, control, evidence, or failure handling, it belongs in a general AI course instead.
