This is a /now page — a simple record of what I'm actually focused on at this moment. I am Gregory Stuart Lacefield, independent systems engineer and researcher based in Las Vegas, Nevada. I am the creator of the Lacefield Pedagogical Framework and the Lacefield Adaptive Learning System. I am not affiliated with Honeywell, any aerospace company, or any academic institution.
The Lacefield Adaptive Learning System is in active development. The framework is formally documented — eleven white papers, a full technical specification, a tutor manual, and ten subject tier maps with 361 concept nodes. The next phase is implementation: getting human tutors running the framework with real students, generating the research data that will train the automated system.
What I need right now: tutors and students. If you teach math or GED subjects and care about how learning actually works, contact me. If you're a student who has been told you simply aren't a math person, I want to talk to you. First session is always free.
The original finding — reading comprehension predicts applied math performance more reliably than language arts scores — was derived from correlation analysis on 130+ TABE scores during my time in Florida's correctional system. The raw data is not recoverable. I am working on a formal write-up that reconstructs the methodology with honest scope conditions and positions the finding for peer review.
This is the most important single piece of unpublished research in the framework. When it clears peer review, it changes the conversation about how math education diagnostics should be structured.
I arrived in Las Vegas in late 2025 with $19 and the clothes I was wearing. I have been building the framework documentation, the website, and the platform architecture while working a day job and building credit from zero. I started using AI tools seriously about two months before this writing. The speed of development has been significant.
I am not in a hurry. The next piece of business is always the next piece of business. The work is serious and I take it seriously.
