Standing in the record
Registered on 2026-09-29 at the owner’s request, because the owner’s prior-art novelty map (a private working
document on concepts as projectors, the linear representation hypothesis and their neighbours) cites it: §0 and rows 1, 4: concepts-as-projectors in Hilbert space and the guppy/pet-fish non-distributive combination the map says the owner re-derives in §1–§2.

It was filed Deferred, unread. NOTE-299 is the close reading of 2026-09-29, and it placed the work: Active — worth reading as the concrete source of the quantum-cognition treatment of concepts (projectors for contexts, collapse for context change, tensor product and entanglement for combination), and as an early proposal of tensor-product sentence meaning before DisCoCat. Read with the caveat that its worked model never uses a non-commuting projector, so none of its fits exercises anything beyond Kolmogorov probability, and its “solution” to the pet-fish problem reproduces the single-concept data it was given rather than predicting a combination.
