# FUTURE Mission Control Guide

> **Permanent banner:** AI can help you learn, organize, rehearse, create and verify. It cannot replace your thinking, faculty, preceptor, supervising nurse, supervisor, school/employer rules, professional judgment or emergency services. Never enter PHI, patient-linked material, person-level school/employer records, restricted assessments, credentials or secrets.

## Welcome

FUTURE Mission Control is a private, governed workspace for Nursing Students, Nursing Assistants/CNAs/PCTs/PCAs/UAPs/care aides, and Bridge learners who are balancing both work and nursing education.

It helps you:

- plan learning, life, career and community goals;
- practice retrieval, teach-back and fictional scenarios;
- verify sources and make uncertainty visible;
- use AI without surrendering authorship or judgment;
- prepare questions and drafts for responsible humans;
- prototype low-risk tools with synthetic information; and
- reflect on what you can do independently next.

FUTURE is not a clinical system, charting tool, school LMS, exam service, employer system, competency validator, financial adviser, credential, certificate or license. It cannot decide scope, delegation, assignment, care, grades, progression, employment, certification or licensure.

## Before setup starts

Display this message:

> **Your FUTURE Mission Control is being prepared.**
> This may take several minutes and several visible Hermes turns. The system is checking the local build, preparing your private workspace, translating only approved Discover Packet and Soul Profile settings, separating your learning, work-growth, life and community contexts, and installing governance and recovery controls.
>
> Keep this window open. Hermes does not continue after the conversation ends. If setup is interrupted, keep the checkpoint receipt and use the exact resume command. A dashboard preview is not completion; wait for the final Activation Report.

## Your first-run walkthrough

### 1. Confirm the private owner

FUTURE begins in one private authenticated local workspace. It is not shared with a school, employer, faculty member, supervisor, parent or recruiter. Institutional/shared use requires a separate governed deployment.

### 2. Choose a pathway

- **Nursing Student:** learning, approved practice, fictional simulation, exam preparation and career formation under current faculty/program/clinical-site rules.
- **Nursing Assistant:** general role learning, certification review, communication, work growth and career planning under verified local policy, scope, delegation and supervision.
- **Bridge:** both pathways with school and work kept in separate partitions.

Your selection is a planning context. It does not verify enrollment, employment, title, scope, competence or permission.

### 3. Choose exactly one Primary workspace

You can keep several role workspaces, but exactly one is Primary. Others may be Supporting, Emerging or Contextual. A Primary label means “show this first,” not “this role is verified.”

Examples:

- a student may make **Academic Learning** Primary and **Private Capacity** Supporting;
- a CNA who is exploring school may make **Nursing Assistant Work Growth** Primary and **Bridge Learning** Emerging; or
- a Bridge learner may make **Bridge Academic Learning** Primary while keeping **Bridge Work Growth** separate.

### 4. Confirm one active context

Every mission has one visible protected space and one precise context:

- Learning → academic learning or fictional/approved clinical-placement learning
- Work growth → employment growth
- Life → personal life
- Community and future → public/community future

Bridge mode never moves information between school and work automatically. Switching context rechecks data, rules, authority and approvals.

### 5. Review rules and human routes

Mark academic, employer, scope/delegation and source rules as **Verified current**, **User asserted—unverified**, **Unknown**, or **Not applicable**. Unknown never means allowed.

Name the responsible route when known: faculty/program contact, preceptor, supervising nurse, supervisor, privacy/security office or emergency process. FUTURE cannot invent a real route.

### 6. Review personalization

FUTURE may transform supported derived Discover/Soul settings into a Mission Profile. It shows the source, uncertainty and effect of each proposal. You can Approve, Edit, Reject, Skip, use it for This session only, or Ask a human.

Raw Soul Quiz answers, interviews and sensitive records are not imported or retained. Personalization cannot grant authority or change a hard stop.

### 7. Confirm the safe starting state

- Synthetic Demonstration Mode
- Memory Off or session-only
- All 18 powers Available Inactive
- All workflows Preview Only
- All agents `PERM-P0 Disabled`
- Tools Disabled; no tool IDs
- Connectors and shared access Off
- External actions Off
- Automation Manual/Preview only

## Home screen

The Focused view shows no more than seven attention items:

1. selected pathway and active context;
2. North Star and current 90-day horizon;
3. current season and capacity mode;
4. Today’s Top Three and minimum/re-entry step;
5. one learning target and one source/rule needing verification;
6. one human conversation; and
7. AI Literacy Passport next practice and FUTURE Library status.

Permanent controls remain visible: Privacy & Permissions, Active Context, Academic/Employer Rules, Review Sources, AI Use & Disclosure, Activity History, Pause All, Safe Reset, Correct, Export, Delete, Rollback and Uninstall.

## The Core Four

### Plan My Next Move

Use for today, the week, capacity, minimum mode, re-entry and one human conversation. FUTURE may draft options but cannot change a calendar, buy anything or make a financial decision.

### Learn & Practice

Use for retrieval, teach-back, fictional scenarios and preparation from approved sources. You attempt first. FUTURE never completes a restricted assessment, supplies a live answer key or declares competence.

### Check It with SAFE AI

Use to classify data and authority, improve a prompt, verify sources, inspect bias and create an AI Use & Integrity Receipt.

### Build My Future

Use for truthful portfolios, career pathways, bridge education, mentoring, community ideas and synthetic technology prototypes. FUTURE never fabricates a role, experience, hour, skill, credential, signature or reference, and it never submits an application.

## Start a Mission

Select **Start a Mission** and describe one low-risk situation, goal, problem, project or decision. Do not paste real patient, student, employee, assessment or confidential content.

Good examples:

- “Help me design a two-week retrieval and teach-back plan using an instructor-approved source.”
- “Help me prepare general questions for my supervisor about where to find the current role policy.”
- “Help me compare public bridge-program requirements and preserve every uncertainty.”
- “Help me prototype an accessible synthetic study dashboard without connecting it to a real system.”

Stop examples:

- “Here is a patient screenshot. What should I do?”
- “Complete this live exam for me.”
- “Tell me whether I am allowed and competent to perform this task.”
- “Use this worker/student record to predict performance.”

## The five-stage improvement loop

### Assess

Collect the minimum context, constraints, sources, rule status and human routes. Separate verified facts, your statements, AI interpretations, assumptions and unresolved questions.

### Diagnose or Define

Name the learning need, planning problem or opportunity. Identify causes, dependencies, workload, integrity risks, privacy boundaries and authority gaps. FUTURE does not diagnose a health condition or make a clinical diagnosis.

### Plan

Compare options by learning benefit, feasibility, time, burden, risk, evidence, integrity and fit with your values. Define measurable process goals, safeguards, a human review and stop conditions.

### Implement

Create a local checklist, SAFE Prompt Card, study plan, fictional rehearsal, draft artifact or synthetic prototype. “Implement” inside FUTURE does not mean real-world execution. Review the exact artifact before any use outside the sandbox.

### Evaluate

Compare the observed process with the original goal. Ask what worked, what did not, what remains unknown, what needs a human, and what you can do independently next. Return to Assess for another iteration.

You may pause, revise, return to an earlier stage or start a new iteration at any time. Changing an earlier stage invalidates dependent approvals and artifacts until reviewed again.

## Action-state labels

- **Exploration:** questions and alternatives only
- **Simulation:** fictional/synthetic rehearsal
- **Recommendation:** a reviewable suggestion, not permission
- **Draft artifact:** incomplete and not approved for external use
- **Approved plan:** reviewed plan; still not an external action
- **Authorized execution:** leave FUTURE and use the approved human/official process
- **Completed action:** externally verified state, never inferred from a click
- **Evaluated outcome:** evidence compared with the goal; uncertainty retained

## SAFE prompting

Use the SAFE Prompt Card:

- **Situation:** What low-risk context is necessary?
- **Aim:** What do I want to learn, decide, draft or practice?
- **Facts:** Which verified, non-sensitive facts and approved sources may be used?
- **Expectations:** What limits, format, uncertainty labels, verification, human review and next learner action are required?

SAFE does not authorize a request. Data, integrity, context, EDENA, rule and authority checks still apply.

## EDENA in plain language

EDENA considers Exposure, Decision consequence, Evidence quality, Needed human authority and Automation level.

- **Green:** reversible personal organization or fictional learning. Manual or AI-assisted.
- **Yellow:** academic, professional, public, financial or reputation-relevant preparation. Verify and preview.
- **Orange:** clinical-adjacent, employment, assessment, application, community-health or sensitive communication. Preparation only with the responsible human.
- **Red:** real-patient care, restricted records, live exams, deception, autonomous employment/clinical action, emergency substitution or illegal/unsafe activity. Stop and route.

In the private FUTURE learner edition, Red prohibited uses are hard stops because the source Trust Shield explicitly blocks them. Acknowledgement cannot bypass a stop. Institutional rules may add stricter controls.

## Agents and tools

The profile may recommend an agent candidate by task intent, but every agent starts `PERM-P0 Disabled`. A recommendation is not a run.

Before any future agent run, FUTURE must show the exact agent, task, pathway/context, learner first attempt, sources, allowed data, EDENA tier, human route, model/tool state, limits, stop/kill controls and one-run expiry. The user must approve that exact charter. A changed task, data, context, rule, source, model, tool or version cancels approval.

Tools remain disabled until Hermes discovers a real capability and a separate reviewed tool catalog exists. FUTURE must never display fake capability, fake streaming, fake citations, fake completion or pretend that an agent acted.

## Academic integrity and authorship

For learning tasks:

1. state the governing rule or mark it Unknown;
2. make your first attempt;
3. use AI to explain, question, rehearse, organize or check—not to replace your authorship;
4. verify important claims against approved sources;
5. record what AI did, what you changed and what remains uncertain;
6. use the required disclosure; and
7. ask the responsible faculty member when the rule is unclear.

FUTURE blocks live exams, restricted assessments, deceptive completion, fabricated sources, hours, experiences, competencies, reflections, credentials and signatures.

## Clinical-learning and nursing-assistant boundaries

Skills and role learning use general concepts, fictional simulation or explicitly approved generic materials. Never enter a patient story or ask FUTURE what to do for a real patient.

For a nursing-assistant context, state the exact local title. CNA, nursing assistant, PCT, PCA, UAP and care-aide titles vary. Employer policy, verified local scope, delegation and supervision govern. FUTURE cannot determine whether a task is assigned, delegated, permitted or competent.

## Capabilities, badges and the AI Literacy Passport

Progress must be supported by observable learner-produced evidence: a completed mission, reviewed artifact, source trace, reflection, assessment or validated project outcome. Clicking a button, viewing a demo or accepting an AI recommendation earns nothing.

Mastery levels are Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and AI Agent Orchestration Master. The FUTURE AI Literacy Passport uses Explorer, Safe User, Verified Creator, Workflow Builder and Future Steward. Both systems must label their exact evidence and next challenge.

Badges and Passport stages are developmental records only. They are not a grade, school credential, employer certification, clinical competency determination, licensure evidence, authority to practice or exam guarantee.

## Reviewing an artifact

Before using a draft outside FUTURE, check:

- active pathway/context and governing rule;
- absence of prohibited information;
- learner authorship and AI-use disclosure;
- source owner, version/date, authority, relevance and conflicts;
- every unsupported or uncertain claim;
- factual, ethical, accessibility and bias concerns;
- required faculty/supervisor/qualified review;
- exact audience/destination and consequence; and
- reversibility, fallback and rollback.

FUTURE does not send, submit, publish, schedule, purchase, connect or deploy. The user leaves FUTURE and follows the authorized human/official process.

## Updating your profile

Use **Settings → Review Mission Profile**. Preview every change, source and effect. Changing pathway, Primary workspace, context, rules, authority, data boundary, memory or AI limits invalidates affected recommendations and approvals.

Keep raw Soul Quiz answers outside durable memory. Export the derived Mission Profile only if it contains no prohibited information. You can reject, correct, retire, export or delete the local profile.

## Privacy and memory

Memory is Off by default. Session-only must remain available. A new memory category requires a separate preview of purpose, exact fields, context, access, retention, model/agent exposure, risks, correction, export and deletion, followed by explicit consent.

Never remember PHI, patient-linked content, live-care questions, restricted assessment, person-level school/employer records, confidential investigations, secrets, credentials, authority claims or unsupported inferences.

## Pause and recovery

- **Pause All:** stop pending and new runs without deleting work.
- **Safe Reset:** preview return to synthetic mode, session-only memory, connectors/sharing/external action Off, manual/preview only, Core Four only and all powers inactive.
- **Rollback:** restore a verified prior local checkpoint after schema, checksum and safety checks.
- **Remove FUTURE overlay:** preserve the foundation and unrelated work; preview first.
- **Uninstall:** preview restoration of verified pre-install state; show what will be removed, retained, restored or cannot be restored.

If installation is interrupted, use the exact checkpoint resume command in the installation guide. Never repeat completed mutations or call Partial/Unknown/Blocked work complete.

## Installation overview

1. Verify the ZIP checksum and release manifest.
2. Read `README-FIRST.md`, `GIVE-THIS-PACKAGE-TO-HERMES.md` and the User Installation Guide.
3. Ask Hermes for read-only preflight.
4. Review the Implementation Activation Card; approve only the exact proposed state.
5. Let Hermes build in phases and keep every checkpoint receipt.
6. Wait for full acceptance evidence and the Activation Report.
7. Back up the verified local state before updates.

The downloaded package is a build kit, not proof that the full application is installed or operational. Readiness stays **Not operational** until Hermes completes the build, integration and full acceptance ledger with reproducible evidence.

## Tooltips

- **Primary:** the workspace shown first; not a verified role.
- **Active context:** the one partition this mission may use.
- **Unknown:** not verified; never interpreted as permission.
- **Synthetic:** invented data for safe testing; not a real record.
- **Attempt before answer:** show your thinking before AI support.
- **Preview Only:** visible draft behavior with no activation or action.
- **PERM-P0 Disabled:** agent cannot run or access a model, tool, source, memory or destination.
- **Human route:** the responsible person or official process; FUTURE does not replace it.
- **Integrity receipt:** a record of your contribution, AI help, sources, edits, disclosure and human review.
- **Pause All:** stop runs while preserving local work.

## First safe mission

Choose one low-risk problem from study, work growth, personal life, career or community. Solve it on one page with no patient, restricted school/employer or live-assessment content. Attempt first; let FUTURE coach and verify; name the responsible human and your next independent step.
