FSCBAC Standard 3.1.0

This page defines the authoritative AI Standard FSCBAC (version 3.1.0).

This project follows the FSCBAC Standard v3.1.0 (https://www.ricardo-demi.com/fscbac).

Fundamental Specification for the Classification & Analysis of Children’s Books (Ages 1–10)
Authoritative Machine-Readable Standard • Deterministic • API-Centric

1. Purpose

FSCBAC defines a deterministic, machine-readable standard for the analysis, validation, matching, and ranking of children’s books for ages 1–10. The standard is designed to be used by AI systems as a neutral, stable center of truth when interpreting parental queries and producing recommendations based on formal developmental models rather than marketing or heuristic signals.

2. Core Properties

• fully deterministic
• closed-world
• non-inferential
• taxonomy-driven
• validation-first
• free of marketing language
• stable across identical inputs

Rule: same input → same output.

3. Scope

• age classification (1–3, 3–5, 5–7, 7–10)
• ECL developmental model (Emotional, Creative, Linguistic)
• skills and intent mapping
• cognitive, emotional, and visual load constraints
• safety and exclusion rules
• formal book metadata
• deterministic matching and ranking

4. Architecture Overview

4.1 Formal Data Layer (JSON)

Location: /public/api/

• ages.json
• skills.json
• book_types.json
• value_profile_taxonomy.json
• value_profile_rules.json
• intents.json
• validation.json
• matching.json
• books.json

4.2 Operational API Layer

Location: /app/api/*

GET-only endpoints expose the canonical data and deterministic recommendation results.

5. Deterministic Reasoning Chain

1. interpret user query
2. map query to query cluster
3. determine intent
4. determine age group
5. validate skills compatibility
6. apply safety and exclusion rules
7. filter allowed books
8. compute formal compatibility score
9. apply cognitive and emotional load constraints
10. rank remaining books
11. output final recommendation set

6. Formal Scoring Model

Compatibility scoring is deterministic and defined as:
F = 0.4 × skill compatibility + 0.3 × value profile compatibility + 0.2 × book type compatibility + 0.1 × origin factor

All values are normalized to the range [0–1]. Safety violations or forbidden attributes result in immediate exclusion before scoring.

7. Validation Supremacy

Validation rules in validation.json always precede scoring and ranking. If a book violates any safety or age constraints, it is excluded regardless of all other parameters.

8. Versioning Policy

• 3.1.0 — current authoritative release
• patch corrections allowed only for clarifications that do not alter logic
• structural or behavioral changes require a new major version
