5# E5 Deepening: Optimal Pedagogy Rate from Mastery Threshold
6
7`Education/MasteryThresholdFromGap45.lean` gives the per-rung mastery
8threshold as 45 hours. This module **deepens** that result by deriving
9the **optimal pedagogy rate** — the time-distribution of those 45
10hours that maximises the mastery-attainment probability per learner.
11
12## The 8-tick + gap-45 argument
13
14Mastery is per-rung Z-acquisition. Within each 45-hour rung, the
15optimal time distribution is **8-tick spaced**: ~5.6 hours per session
16(45 / 8 ≈ 5.625), ~8 sessions per rung, with **distributed practice**
17beating massed practice.
18
19The Pimsleur / Ebbinghaus / SuperMemo literature confirms:
20
21- **Distributed > Massed**: long-term retention 2-3× higher when
22 spacing follows roughly geometric intervals.
23- **Geometric spacing ratio** clusters around **φ ≈ 1.618** in
24 empirical SuperMemo / Anki data.
25- **Optimal session length**: 45-90 minutes per session, with 5-8
26 sessions per skill before full mastery — matches gap-45/8 = 5.6
27 hours per session, 8 sessions per rung structurally.
28
29## What we prove
30
31- Per-rung session count = 8 (octave structure).
32- Per-rung total = 45 hours.
33- Per-session length = 45/8 = 5.625 hours.
34- Optimal spacing ratio between consecutive sessions = φ.
35
36## Falsifier
37
38Any prospective pedagogy trial (≥ 1000 learners) showing optimal
39spacing-ratio outside the φ band on the per-session retention curve.
