The model comprises three interlinked loops—Teaching-Research, Technology-Entrepreneurship, and Industry-Education Synergy—governed by dual subjects (faculty professors and innovation-entrepreneurship educators). By constructing a “Technological Intensity–Industrialization Degree” (τ-ι) coordinate system, the framework externalizes the innovation process into quantifiable expressions, revealing the interactive mechanisms among undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. It provides theoretical guidance for optimizing research translation efficiency and serves as a metric tool for institutional policy-making.
