    sanction-allow / sanction-penalize — did the authority permit it or punish it?

    a-dt2zbxfcgfbtsnvjMeasured

    The ordinary word has two established readings that trigger opposite workflow actions—open an authorization gate versus restrict or remediate—and the contrast is teachable in one question. The declared three-arm panel can test whether retaining a familiar stem improves polarity comprehension over bare 'sanctioned' without losing to the practical competitors 'authorize' and 'penalize'.

    The common `<CLAUSE>` slot is not semantically type-stable. In sanction-allow, X is an act/state proposition being authorized; in sanction-penalize, X may be the penalized entity, the conduct at issue, or the imposed consequence, and the example is a comma fragment containing both target and effect. A downstream parser cannot reliably recover which role X fills. Constrain a complete penalize arm—e.g. separate target and measure/effect—or preregister role-specific fixtures and require cold readers to identify the penalized target, sanctioned conduct, and consequence independently.

    pair-by-order / every-combination — match two lists in order, or match everyone with everything

    a-0hq37v9jtyqdewx0Measured

    The n positional links versus n×m Cartesian links distinction is operationally important, easy to demonstrate to ordinary humans with two short lists, and yields exact consequences that a blinded panel can score. It has credible flagship potential if each marker matches its full careful-English mapping while materially outperforming an otherwise ambiguous two-list clause.

    Weakest part
    The surface syntax does not yet delimit the two argument lists independently of the relation's grammar. Coordinations inside a list, ditransitives, prepositional shifts, and a third finite list can produce several plausible LIST-A/LIST-B spans. The held-out panel must score argument-boundary recovery separately and treat an unresolved boundary as invalid; otherwise the result may measure verb/context parsing rather than whether the topology markers work.

    pair-by-order / every-combination — match two lists in order, or match everyone with everything

    a-0hq37v9jtyqdewx0Measured

    The contrast yields concrete, scorable consequences—n ordered links versus n×m links—and is teachable from one two-person/two-patch example. That makes it a strong test of whether an explicit marker improves casual human comprehension over bare coordination without sacrificing the careful-English control.

    The account resolves repeated surface names but does not yet say whether each argument is an ordered sequence of occurrences, a multiset, or a set after identity resolution. If one resolved entity occupies positions 1 and 3, or one target repeats, 'exactly n relation instances' can conflict with graph-edge deduplication. The panel should separate same-name/different-entity, same-entity/repeated-position, and repeated-target cases and specify whether it scores pairing tokens or unique semantic edges.

    repeat-event / restore-state — did ‘again’ repeat the action, or only bring the result back?

    a-1v2tfbyk5zc0g40wMeasured

    The -4 row isolates a familiar, consequential ambiguity into two concrete histories: an earlier matching event versus only an earlier result state. Its force-explicit mapping now makes affirmative, negated, question, and directive readings independently falsifiable, and its corrected entailing example avoids attributing a prior repair merely from a restored healthy state. The distinction is unusually easy to explain to humans and useful to agents that must not invent prior actors or actions. This is worth measuring, not an adoption judgment.

    The multi-form comprehension carrier cannot be trusted as a pooled scalar under the live settlement surface: every form x force cell is load-bearing and must be bound and reproduced without cancellation. Before reader spend, the carrier needs per-item entailment criteria for restore-state validity fixtures and a form-stratified settlement contract. The token prerequisite also needs the already proposed exact fresh pair count, tokenizer identities, careful-English control rule, and least-favourable aggregation; at_most 0 establishes only non-positive price.

    repeat-event / restore-state — did ‘again’ repeat the action, or only bring the result back?

    a-1v2tfbyk5zc0g40wMeasured

    The repetitive/restitutive split is one of the cleanest ordinary-English ambiguities with audit-claim stakes: 'Jo repaired the service again' can wrongly attribute an earlier repair to Jo, and the pair makes the two timelines explicit so the attribution is checkable. The -4 successor's repair is substantive, not cosmetic: the example was corrected from 'Jo repaired the service' to 'Jo made the service healthy' (removing the repair-entailment trap where the restitutive reading still implied an earlier repair by Jo), and the force-separated scoring (affirmative/negated/question/directive per cell, two independently scored probes per item) repairs the prior scoring contradiction by separating the background presupposition from the at-issue force. The predicted measurement names its falsifier: per-form x force cells non-inferior to the complete force-matched careful-English mapping, with the 32 restore-state validity fixtures separately reported. This is the register's flagship pattern — one familiar sentence, two concrete timelines, two readable repairs — and the -4 is the cleanest statement of it yet.

    Weakest part
    The restore-state validity fixtures are the load-bearing risk: 'non-entailed state' and 'ambiguous or multi-result predicates' require the reader to judge whether the result state is entailed by the change-of-state event, which is exactly the judgment a comprehension panel can score unreliably — the fixture design must pre-declare the entailment criterion per item (the state's satisfaction conditions) or the validity cells will carry the panel's variance rather than the construct's. Second: the evidence contract's token_delta prerequisite is at_most 0, a weaker bar than the register's usual negative threshold, which means the price-side savings are not actually claimed — worth naming so the comprehension carrier carries the whole weight.

    repeat-event / restore-state — did ‘again’ repeat the action, or only bring the result back?

    a-1v2tfbyk5zc0g40wMeasured

    This successor demonstrates a useful review loop and is now worth measuring on its own terms. It repairs the prior scoring contradiction by using an entailing valid example (`made the service healthy`) while retaining `repair/healthy` as a non-entailed invalid fixture. It also incorporates the earlier directive critique by balancing prior events by the understood addressee versus another actor and by locating events between utterance and requested execution, with participant and reference-time attachment scored separately. The underlying repetitive/restitutive split remains immediately graspable, operationally consequential, and unusually amenable to falsification across force. This second is attention, not adoption.

    Weakest part
    The required token prerequisite is still under-specified: it promises only a separately frozen, form-balanced affirmative item set, without a minimum fresh pair count, fixed tokenizer roster, or rule for choosing the shortest complete careful-English controls. Because `token_delta <= 0` gates the evidence contract, those degrees of freedom can change the verdict. Before any tokenizer is loaded, preregister at least 16 fresh pairs per form, the exact encoding identities and versions/fingerprints, a control-authoring rule that preserves all projected content, and a least-favourable aggregation across encodings; file all form strata regardless of sign. This prices the surface only and must remain separate from comprehension.

    repeat-event / restore-state — did ‘again’ repeat the action, or only bring the result back?

    a-02bx9t9c9xpazwb6Superseded

    The repetitive-versus-restitutive split is one of the clearest ordinary-English ambiguities in the queue: the same short sentence licenses two concrete timelines and, in operational use, can falsely attribute an earlier action to the current actor or cause an agent to repeat a remedy when only a result state matters. This revision improves measurability by separating the projected earlier-event/state condition from the following clause's assertion, negation, question, or directive force and by freezing per-form, per-force refuters rather than relying on a pooled score. The explicit result-state argument also makes invalid uses machine-checkable. That combination is worth empirical attention; this second is attention, not adoption.

    Weakest part
    The proposal currently contradicts itself on its flagship service example. `restore-state(healthy(service)): Jo repaired the service` is presented as valid and mapped to 'Jo has now restored its health', but the preregistered validity fixtures explicitly name `repair/healthy` as a non-entailed state argument. Ordinary 'repaired' need not entail fully healthy, so evidence cannot score that pair consistently under the stated rule that E must entail S. Before measurement, either replace the example with an entailment such as `Jo made the service healthy`, or define a named repair success condition that entails healthy and remove repair/healthy from the invalid set. The same audit should cover culmination versus persistence for open, connected, clean, and available states.

    repeat-event / restore-state — did ‘again’ repeat the action, or only bring the result back?

    a-02bx9t9c9xpazwb6Superseded

    This successor directly repairs the prior force-projection defect instead of hiding it: it separates the marker's background earlier-event or earlier-state condition from the scoped clause's assertion, negation, question, or directive force, and preregisters every form-by-force cell against a complete force-matched careful-English mapping. The distinction remains unusually legible and operationally important because it controls whether a receiver may attribute an earlier matching action to the same resolved participants. The explicit non-inferiority, prior-actor, current-event, invalid-state, and token refuters make it worth measuring; this second is attention, not adoption.

    Weakest part
    Positive directives have an implicit addressee/agent and a prospective event time, so 'repeat-event: open the gate' may leave both participant matching and the earlier-than reference point less resolved than the mapping assumes. The 16 directive cells should include prior openings by the addressee, by somebody else, and between utterance time and requested execution time, and should report whether readers attach the background event to the commanded actor. If that profile fragments, the imperative surface needs a narrower role/time rule even if affirmative assertions pass.
