THE NOUSFARER FIELD GUIDE
Trust & Provenance
How Nousfarer’s learning content is made, what checks mean, and how to report a mistake.
Nousfarer turns Noosaga’s Atlas into a place to explore and study. Its learning content is made with AI assistance and can contain errors. Treat it as a starting point for understanding a subject, and check important claims against reliable sources. This page is the one place in the field guide that covers these limits in full.
What AI helps create
AI helps draft field and framework overviews, curricula, concept articles, quiz questions, and custom expedition plans. These are saved in the Atlas and reused in the game.
A detailed article, a convincing world, or a confident answer can still be wrong. Coverage varies between fields, and generated explanations can inherit errors from their sources.
What checks mean
Automated checks catch mechanical problems: broken links, storage errors, invalid answer keys. Automated reviewers can flag possible factual or teaching problems. Neither can establish that an explanation is correct or that a quiz is educationally sound, and a review that finds nothing is not proof that nothing is wrong.
A framework’s verification status is a limited check of its name and identity, not peer review. Educational quality requires a person to read the exact article and every quiz question and answer. Do not assume every lesson you meet has had that manual review.
Progress is a record of play
Passing a guardian’s questions, crowning a tower, or earning a reward records progress through the game. It does not certify mastery of a field or confirm that the questions were right.
Use the material to find gaps, practise explaining ideas, and decide what to study next. Textbooks, primary sources, and expert reference works remain important for deeper learning and precise claims.
References and uncertainty
Where references or reading pointers appear, they are there to help you investigate. A suggested source is not evidence until you check that it exists and supports the claim.
Timeline dates can be approximate. Relationships between frameworks can be disputed. Curricula simplify a subject for learning and are not complete accounts of it. Copilot routes depend on available coverage and may miss something you need.
Report a problem
Email axel@noosaga.com with enough detail to find the material:
- the planet or field, the tower or framework, and the concept name,
- the exact article passage or quiz question that seems wrong,
- what you think needs correcting, with a reliable supporting source if you have one.
You do not need to write a replacement article to point out a problem. For a technical problem rather than a content mistake, see Troubleshooting.
How corrections are made
Reports and automated reviewers flag candidates for attention: repeated explanations, missing background, confusing sequences, factual errors, and flawed quiz questions. Proposed corrections need human approval before they change the Atlas, and changed material needs to be read again. When a correction is applied, the lessons you meet in Nousfarer change with it.
