Input Hypothesis

Conceptual Framework by Stephen Krashen • Implementation by Smart Notes Team

i+1 learning: Mastery comes from comprehensible input just above your level.

“
We acquire language in only one way: by understanding messages.
— Stephen Krashen
The Criticism

Traditional 'Study' (Grammar, Drills) is a 'Low-Agency' approach that creates 'Knowledge about language' rather than 'Mastery of it'.

The Smart Solution

The i+1 Feed. The system scans your current knowledge graph and only feeds you new insights that are exactly 1 step beyond your current 'Mastery Score'.

The Acquisition Gap

Mastery isn’t about memorizing rules; it’s about building an ‘Intuition’. This happens only when you are exposed to ‘Comprehensible Input’.

The Acquisition Protocol

  1. The i+1 Audit: The system ranks your current nodes by ‘Familiarity’.
  2. Selective Exposure: It surfaces new information that shares 90% semantic density with what you already know, but introduces 10% new ‘Complexity’.
  3. Natural Recubation: We use Spaced Repetition to ensure the ‘i+1’ nodes are encoded into your long-term ‘Neural Vault’.

Mastery Achievement

You achieve ‘Intuition’ when you can deploy a complex technical or linguistic pattern without ‘Thinking’ about the rules.

Deploy this protocol with Smart Notes.
