THE FOUR-FINGER ECHO BOX
Resonance Code · sixteen fingerings · one quantum choice experiment
PRE · PILOT CONCEPT CHECK
Answer in your own words. “Not sure yet” is useful pilot evidence.
Same instrument language as the lesson.Four physical binary keys define the Echo Box fingerings. Answer the mechanism questions without assuming the instrument itself is quantum.
1. How many fingerings do four binary Echo Box keys give?
2. The Echo Box supplies sixteen possible acoustic fingerings. What defines which fingering counts as preferable: the Echo Box or the game/task?
3. Immediately after COST, what changes in the quantum state?
4. Does COST alone move the computational-basis probability bars? Explain briefly.
5. What kinds of four-bit labels does the canonical MIX Hamiltonian couple?
6. Is probability redistribution after COST→MIX guaranteed to improve the objective?
7. What does measurement return?
8. After measurement, how does the returned four-bit label cause one ordinary Four-Finger Echo Box fingering to be heard?
Pilot instrument, not a validated assessment.

Use the same questions so the pilot can compare explanations. This is not a validated assessment.
Keep the causal roles separate.The measured label can later control the ordinary Echo Box; the acoustic instrument itself did not perform QAOA.
