q2 i? Removing Layout Consistency degrades the Layout score from 9.10 to 7.87; removing Factual Consistency decreases Accuracy & Depth from 0.87 to 0.85; removing Cognitive Clarity decreases Logical Flow from 0.91 to 0.89. → Xinchen Ma 2026 q2 i? Factual verification improves conceptual correctness; without it narrations may contain imprecise explanations, e.g. misdescribing conservation of mass in chemical equation balancing. → Xinchen Ma 2026 (2) q2 i? Cognitive Clarity verification improves instructional coherence; without it narrations show abrupt transitions and weaker progression. → Xinchen Ma 2026 (3)

q2 · i? · design · r2

Ablation analysis of the framework's three verification components, evaluated on visual and narration quality; the article reports that removing Layout Consistency "significantly degrades the Layout score from 9.10 to 7.87".

"First, removing theLayout Consistencymod-ule significantly degrades the Layout score from 9.10 to 7.87."

q2 · i? · design · r2

In the same ablation study, removing Factual Consistency lowered the Accuracy & Depth narration score "from 0.87 to 0.85"; the article gives the conservation-of-mass misdescription as an example failure mode.

"Second, removingFactual Consistencyde-creases the Accuracy & Depth score from 0.87 to 0.85, indicating that factual verification improves con-ceptual correctness and explanatory reliability."

q2 · i? · design · r2

In the same ablation study, removing the Cognitive Clarity module lowered the Logical Flow score "from 0.91 to 0.89", with narrations more likely to show abrupt topic transitions and weaker instructional progression.

"Third, removing theCognitive Claritymodule decreases the Logical Flow score from 0.91 to 0.89."
