              Compositional "some" matches hand-crafted definition

              Compositional "all" matches hand-crafted definition

              At w1, "all passed" does NOT hold

              Main Result: exhMW(some) holds at w1 (compositionally derived).

              This proves the scalar implicature "some but not all" using:

              1. Montague compositional semantics
              2. @cite{spector-2016} exhaustivity operator

              Corollary: exhMW(some) does NOT hold at w3.

              All-worlds are excluded by exhaustification of "some".
