Generalizations.HomogeneityProjection — cross-paper data pool #

Cross-paper test substrate for how the homogeneity gap of plural definites projects under embedding quantifiers and operators. The pattern's empirical literature spans [Lob00], [Gaj05], [Spe13a], [Mag14], [KC15], [Kri16], [BL21], [ABB+23], [KS21b], and [Has25a]; the empirical generalisation predates any one formal account, justifying a theory-neutral Data/Generalizations/ anchor.

Implementation notes #

This file is the data side of cross-account testing of homogeneity projection: a ProjectionDatum per observed outcome, pooled in allData. Accounts state their predictions in their own study files, at the granularity their paper supports, and are run against the pool there — restricted by source.bibkey to papers available at each study's publication date. Decidable per-datum and divergence theorems live in those study files too.

The substrate is restricted to the smallest set of operator cases that closes the current ≥2-consumer graduation criterion: every / no (every major contribution tests these), exactlyTwo (introduced by [KC15] Exps. A3/B3/C3/C4), and notEvery (the no/notEvery asymmetry from [ABB+23]). Extend as new consumers land.

There is deliberately no projector-stipulated monotonicity : EmbeddingOperator → ContextPolarity function — the classical mapping (notEvery ↦ downward by De Morgan) disagrees with the empirical observation that notEvery patterns with every rather than no in QUD-manipulation acceptance ([ABB+23]), so any single mapping would be wrong for at least one consumer.

      Scenario classification used by the trivalent-judgment paradigm ([KC15]). The first three are the canonical TRUE / FALSE / GAP triad; gapQ and gapQQ are the exactly N refinements probing the two ways the some-substituted and all-substituted variants of the sentence can pattern in a candidate gap situation (Table 12's s5/s6).

          Datum schema #

          Empirical datum derived from a paper-anchored LinguisticExample. observed is the trivalent value the paper's findings commit to in this (operator, scenario) cell; source is the originating paper.

                LinguisticExample adapter #

                Lift a LinguisticExample to a ProjectionDatum, reading the operator, condition, gap_detected, and classical_value keys from paperFeatures. Baseline conditions are unambiguous (TRUE → .true, FALSE → .false); gap-family rows resolve via HomogeneityGap.gapTruth: .indet when the paper detected the gap, otherwise the bivalent value the row asserts through classical_value (e.g. the gap? cells of [KC15] Exp. C3, judged completely false). Rows lacking the recognised tags are not part of this hub's pool.

                  Pool #

                  Cross-paper pool of projection-relevant data, derived from the imported per-paper Examples.all lists by fromExample. Each entry carries its originating SourceRef for provenance. Rival theories of projection are run against this pool in the study files.
