# FeedbackSignal

Standardized learning feedback packet

Layer: Infrastructure · Category: Primitives

## Mechanism

A structured packet containing the evaluation of a specific [Solution](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Solution.md) for a [Task](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Task.md). Carries outcome and details to the [Feedback](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Feedback.md) mechanism.

## Invariants

- Names both the [Solution](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Solution.md) evaluated and the [Task](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Task.md) it was produced for.
- Carries an outcome; a packet with no outcome is a reference, not an evaluation.
