The README opens with

Passage helps educators inspect where instructional text may ask a learner to hold too many ideas or relationships at once. It runs on localhost and uses the real Jev API to propose active groups, source connections, and changes in demand as the passage unfolds.

This is an experimental teaching aid. Its slot estimates and confidence labels are not validated measurements of a student's memory or calibrated probabilities of overload. Research motivates the design; it does not validate the app's numerical predictions. See research and practical use.
