What would settle it

  1. Test the mnemonic/notation reading: line-level pattern repetition and line-as-unit dependency against languages and generators.
  2. Test the constructed-language reading: within sections, do words sharing a prefix share contexts more than words sharing an ending?
  3. Paradigm classes against slot simulators with held-out stem-ending prediction (F-103).
