The Four Classes of Number
VECTAC enforces an explicit evidence boundary. Automatic camera numbers are practice estimates based on observable head travel. Only an authorized human proctor can attest a test result. VECTAC never confers official military records.
| Verification Class | Origin & Sensor Source | Practice History | Projected Score | Proctor Ledger | Permitted Claim | Official Submission |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| practiceEstimatedAutomatic | On-device TrueDepth depth map or normalized face-scale tracker. Self-reviewed. | YES | YES (Projected) | NO (until attested) | Calibrated head travel or position time only. No form claim. | NEVER |
| practiceManualSelfReported | Direct participant manual keying without sensor validation. | YES | YES (Projected) | NO | Self-reported practice entry. No observer verification. | NEVER |
| proctorAttestedManual | Human proctor operating web/device timers, count controls, and audit notes directly. | YES | YES (Simulated) | YES | Human direct visual observation and attested repetition count. | NEVER |
| proctorAttestedEstimate | Paired athlete device proposes estimate; human proctor accepts or corrects on dashboard. | YES | YES (Simulated) | YES | Proctor attestation of a paired proposal. Sensor remains travel proxy. | NEVER |
| Official Military Record | Authoritative service branch personnel database & certified command test proctors. | N/A | N/A | N/A | External service authority. VECTAC cannot confer this status. | OUT OF SCOPE |
Push-Up Face-Travel Boundary
The camera sits face-up beneath the participant's head on the floor. When calibrated, it calculates the ratio $R = C / B$ of current closeness to baseline.
-
Permitted Claim: The head crossed the descent threshold ($R \ge 1.35$) and returned to top recovery ($R \le 1.15$). -
Prohibited Claim: Elbow break angle, chest-to-ground depth, spinal alignment, or official form.
Plank Proximity-Zone Boundary
The timer samples distance timestamps and accrues valid hold time only while closeness remains within the valid proximity band $0.88 \le R \le 1.12$.
-
Permitted Claim: The head maintained calibrated proximity to the lens without collapsing or standing up. -
Prohibited Claim: Back flatness, hip sag, buttock piking, or neck alignment.
