Topics — What a work is about. Nucleation holds whatever reading the owner files here, whether or not an Anthology of the SOTA topic could also hold it; instruction for ML practice belongs to the anthology (ADR-048). The words are seeded from the clusters the reading-time triage of 2026-09-25 found, and grow by decision.

Contextuality — whether outcomes can be explained without reference to the context of measurement — Kochen–Specker and Bell contextuality and their sheaf-theoretic form, generalized (Spekkens) contextuality, noncontextual models and their limits, and contextuality outside physics.

CASE-008 v2Solidarity, condemnation and humour judged in pairs: the probabilistic versionA24: three judgements of Henley’s poem, S (solidarity), M (condemnation), H (humour), elicited in pairwise contexts, asking whether the pairwise distributions are marginals of one global distribution. Replaced in the manuscript by a deterministic parity example.Superseded — by CASE-035
CASE-021Wording, attributed speaker and judgement order: the proposed factorial studyProposed at A21 and refined at A24, not run: Henley renderings × attributed speaker × order of judgement questions, with hierarchical, sequential state-update and quantum models compared. Becomes the manuscript’s Case I (§10).Active
CASE-035Solidarity, condemnation and humour: the parity obstructionThe manuscript’s §3 version: S = M, M = H and H ≠ S are each satisfiable in its own context but admit no global assignment. Stated to demonstrate an obstruction, not to describe actual judgements.Active
CASE-037The parity triangle with uniform weights: a no-signalling, strongly contextual model beside a family of point sections that gluesCASE-035’s constraints given probabilities, at A129 §2, and set beside a deterministic family on the same cover that glues to (0, 1, 0). It shows that the obstruction is in the supports, not in the event sheaf. It appears three times (A129 §2, A161, A178’s negative control), so it gets a code.Active
CASE-053Contextuality tests on human meaning and judgement data: a held null, and positive results that miss pragmatic content or powerThe published tests of contextuality proper on elicited human judgements, read together. The null that meets every condition is the record’s own LIT-264: attitudinal and lexical data, none contextual under Contextuality-by-Default. Wang’s thesis adds a Bell-type null on meaning judgements. The positive results miss a condition: Cervantes and Dzhafarov’s “Snow Queen” is contextual with high reliability but its content is instructed attribute matching, and Lo, Sadrzadeh and Mansfield’s Winograd schemas have the right content but a violation of about one standard deviation. No contextual pragmatic data are documented; “none in behavioural data” is too broad.Active
CASE-095Two builders sorting one collection: the brick that one bins as red and two-wide and the other as a curved connector has a bin that respects both, and what the builders cannot share is an arrangement, not a descriptionThe example the owner’s LEGO monograph (Mathematics of Meaning, “The Lego Parable”) uses for contextuality, rebuilt. As descriptions the two sortings always share a joint refinement, the product bin, as MOM-CLM-137 shows, so they illustrate the non-contextual case of CLAIM-037 and CLAIM-131. As arrangements, with a fixed number of bins, they compete, and which wins depends on the queries made and on what stands out within a bin. Fictional: the builders and the collection are invented.Active
