Protected Learning Architecture

PLA

Definition

A design layer that allows institutions to update themselves without destabilising their authority base. PLA creates structural separation between the learning process and the legitimacy structure, enabling evidence integration that would otherwise be 'dangerous'.

Example

A court system with PLA can update sentencing guidelines based on new evidence without implying past sentences were unjust—the architecture protects legitimacy while enabling update.
