Seeded public governance data drives the real durable challenge, review, version, and discussion flow; it is not a record from actual students.

What changed

seeing-light-v1 · immutable prior versionLight travels from a source to the eye, where it becomes visible.
seeing-light-v2 · current future versionLight can reach the eye directly from a source or after reflecting from an object.

Existing sittings stay pinned to their assigned version. This accepted wording is attributed to Mira C. and Ada L.

02 · Student proposal

Name reflection instead of implying that only light sources are visible.

The current wording can sound as if objects produce the light we see. The field demonstration shows the missing step: light reflects from the card before reaching the observer.
Evidence
Akade field demonstration 01: an unlit card becomes visible when lamp light reflects toward the observer.
AI assistance
Viviana AI: Helped format the proposed sentence; the student verified the demonstration.

03 · Accountable decision

Teacher dispositionaccepted
The correction is precise, preserves the lesson's scope, and makes the observed mechanism explicit.

Reviewed by Mira C. Votes and agreement can guide attention, but the recorded evidence and rationale—not popularity—explain this decision.

Valuable disagreement

Say that every opaque object reflects all incident light.

The demonstration uses an opaque card, so the lesson could be simpler if it said every opaque object reflects all light that reaches it.

Proposed by Santiago R.

Public disposition

Teacher dispositionrejected
The idea usefully asks for a simpler rule, but “all light” would replace an ambiguity with a false claim. The existing correction remains canonical.

Rejection keeps the canonical wording unchanged, but the question remains visible because it helps future learners see an important distinction.

Challenge the current curriculum

Canonical seeing-light-v2

Students propose exact replacement wording against the version they read. The assigned teacher records a public rationale; accepted text becomes a new immutable version for future sittings.

No live student proposals yet. The two records above demonstrate prior decisions.

    The demonstration supports the narrower wording. I am accepting the correction for the next course version so the active sitting does not change underneath students.
