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.
Psychometrics — measuring minds — scales, reliability and validity, latent-variable and network models of psychological constructs, and model-based estimation of cognitive parameters (ADR-025).

| CLAIM-220 v2 | For a named population of receivers and a stated family of tasks, what survives a translation, retelling or rendering is the set of task-relevant communicative distinctions those receivers can still recover from it, and measured preservation of the pragmatic observables predicts that recovery better than preservation of the wording or of the proposition, with or without its force | The record’s reply, on 2026-10-10, to the audit’s objections to the tests of the manuscript’s thesis (CLAIM-233, CLAIM-232, CLAIM-243, CLAIM-244, CLAIM-226, CLAIM-222). It restates CLAIM-115 as an empirical claim indexed to receivers and tasks, tested against the rival CLAIM-115 itself names, a proposition with its force, on a behavioural criterion and with an interlingual arm that decides. It supersedes CLAIM-115, by the owner’s delegated ruling of 2026-10-29. It is a proposal, not a finding. It does not claim the line’s distinctive machinery is needed: that is CLAIM-202. | Proposed |
| CLAIM-226 v2 | The defeat tests pool unnamed judges and treat their disagreement as noise, though the theory makes the act partly constituted by its audience; for historical sources there is no source audience at all, and for interlingual ones population differences are read as distortion | Found in the record’s audit of the line on 2026-10-10 (empirical lens); no turn of the exchange raises it. A theory on which the act depends on its audience predicts structured variation between judges, so averaging a convenience sample measures an unnamed population’s act. The source term of D(τ) for Villon, Henley or Marot can only be a modern reading, and for a live interlingual case the source and target judges are different communities, so the distance confounds population with transport. CLAIM-074 says fidelity differs across interpreters, as a thesis; it is not applied to the tests. It does not say cross-population fidelity is meaningless. | Active |
| CLAIM-227 | No validated measure of footing or stance exists in the record, and the one repeated assignment of footing, the analyst’s own, changed between passes | Found in the record’s audit of the line on 2026-10-10 (empirical lens); no turn of the exchange raises it. Footing and stance are the observables the central theses turn on, yet the only footing judgement made twice of the same texts, the assistant’s labelling of its own four refrains, changed between A38 and A39 without comment (CASE-012), and no design gives judges a definition, a response format, a reliability target or a validation against a known contrast. Granted, because it is a reading of the record. It does not say footing cannot be measured. | Active |
| CLAIM-232 v3 | Human ratings of stance or footing and human ratings of fidelity of the same renderings share rater construal, scale use and a general impression, which a machine similarity score shares with neither | Found in the record’s audit of the line on 2026-10-10 (empirical lens); no turn of the exchange raises it. Ratings of stance and footing share rater construal, scale use and the reading of one stimulus with ratings of fidelity, and an embedding score shares none of that. The manuscript’s split annotators (§10, as QUESTION-005 reports) remove the shared rater, not the shared construal. It is a second reason, beside CLAIM-233, that the central tests are easy to pass. Open, because a design could answer it. | Active |
| CLAIM-240 v3 | A holistic fidelity judgement is fidelity under the judges’ default task, a weighting of the profile’s components that can be estimated on some renderings and tested on others, so it is well defined and consistent with task-relativity, and a defeat condition that uses it must name the population and fix the weighting before the test, and across populations with unequal access to the source must fit the weighting only on the components each can perceive | The record’s reply, on 2026-10-10, to CLAIM-244. Task-relativity (CLAIM-128) denies a ranking that holds across tasks, not that a population has a default task. A weighting estimated on held-in data and tested on held-out data is a finding, not a fit, and a weighting fixed before the test leaves no room to blame the task after a failure. A proposal: whether holistic judgements are such a weighting is itself empirical. The objection is right that the stated defeat conditions name neither task nor receivers; CLAIM-220, CLAIM-204 and QUESTION-075 address that. | Proposed |
| CLAIM-244 v2 | The defeat tests take one holistic, task-free judgement of fidelity as ground truth, though the line’s own theses say fidelity is task-relative, interpreter-relative and not a single ranking | Found in the record’s audit of the line on 2026-10-10 (empirical lens); no turn of the exchange raises it. A judge asked “how faithful?” or “the same kind?” supplies an unstated task and weighting, and is one interpreter. The theory’s measure must then be fitted to that weighting, which is circular, or a mismatch blamed on the judges’ task, which leaves nothing that defeats. It does not say the judgements are useless, only that the defeat conditions lack the task and receiver index the line’s own theses say fidelity needs. CLAIM-140 is its neighbour: that one moves the criterion to the analyst, and neither says it is task-free. | Proposed |
| CLAIM-458 v2 | A reception split between populations with unequal access to the source can be partly a difference of access and not of weighting, so a comparison of their default tasks can fit weights only on the components every population compared can perceive | The limit CLAIM-240’s note of 2026-10-10 recorded and did not code, filed as an objection. CLAIM-240 reads a holistic fidelity judgement as a default task’s weighting of the profile’s components. In the split over The Vegetarian, some divergences are invisible to readers without Korean (“Most English readers will simply glide over them unaware”), so their weight is zero by blindness, not by a task. The objection undermines a test of CLAIM-240 across such populations unless it fits weights only where both can perceive. It narrows the claim; it does not deny it. | Active |
