S158 to-go [lo-si no be ti-de] la-li-pu no se lo-si ti-de. to-go [la-li-pu no se lo-si ti-de] la-li-pu no ka fe-si ti-de. to-go [la-li-pu no ka fe-si ti-de] lo-li-pu de ti-de. Had the signal not arrived, the crew would not have received it. Had the crew not received it, they would not have issued a warning. Had they not issued a warning, the collective would have suffered.

Notes

  • Three propositions that form a single causal chain in a single analytical scope. Each requires its own to-go [X] Y because the current grammar has no multi-sentence scope frame. The non-actuality marker is repeated three times for what is logically one non-actual frame.
  • lo-si no be ti-de = signal not-generated past = "the signal had not arrived." (be = generation/emergence; no be = did not generate = did not arrive).
  • la-li-pu no se lo-si = crew not-detected signal. li-pu = collective/crew (established).
  • la-li-pu no ka fe-si = crew not-performed warning-signal. fe-si = W024 (alert).
  • lo-li-pu de = collective/patient decays = collective suffered.
  • This is the problem statement for MG-001. The solution follows at S159.

S159 to lo-go-su be. lo-si no be ti-de. la-li-pu no se lo-si ti-de. la-li-pu no ka fe-si ti-de. to lo-go-su de. la-to-fe-su ka to-fe-su-ki lo-go-su ti-de. [The causal analysis model is now active.] The signal had not arrived. The crew had not received it. The crew had not issued the warning. [Causal analysis model closes.] The investigation body then published the causal analysis.

Notes

  • to lo-go-su be = model (root to) + patient: causal-analysis (lo-go-su) + activation (be). No la- anchor = impersonal, parallel to to-go [X] Y. The scope is opened without asserting a thinker.
  • go-su = cause (root go) + structure (root su) = organized causal analysis model. Compositionally transparent (parallel to to-su = organized knowledge, ne-su = organizational network). Not separately registered; flagged as a compound candidate.
  • In-scope sentences (lo-si no be ti-de through la-li-pu no ka fe-si ti-de): note these are structurally identical to the premises of the to-go [X] Y constructions in S158 — minus the outer to-go [...] result frame. In model scope these are assertions within the model, not per-sentence counterfactuals. The frame sustains non-actuality; individual sentences state in-model facts. Causal links are sequentially implied by ordering and go can be used explicitly if a single causal step needs emphasis.
  • to lo-go-su de = model (root to) + patient: causal-analysis + decay/close (de). Explicit scope closer. Symmetric with opener: be = activates, de = closes.
  • la-to-fe-su ka to-fe-su-ki lo-go-su ti-de = actuality-return sentence. World-layer assertion: the investigation body (W072) completed publication of the causal analysis (W097 to-fe-su-ki). Marked la-[agent] ka [action] with no model-frame = clearly world-layer. Implicitly closes any remaining model scope even if the explicit to lo-go-su de were omitted.
  • Efficiency gain: S158 used three to-go prefixes for one logical scope. S159 uses two scope-markers (be and de) for three in-model sentences, with one mandatory to-go-equivalent marker amortized across the scope. For longer chains (five, ten sentences) the benefit grows proportionally.

S160 la-to-fe-su to lo-go-su be. lo-si no be ti-de. la-li-pu no ka fe-si ti-de. la-to-fe-su to lo-go-su de. The investigation body opens the causal model. [In-model:] The signal had not arrived. [In-model:] The crew did not issue the warning. The investigation body closes the causal model.

Notes

  • la-to-fe-su to lo-go-su be = attributed scope open. The la-to-fe-su (agent: investigation/standards body, W072) makes this an attributed model activation: the investigation body is asserting this model space, not a private speaker.
  • This is the MG-001 complement to the attributed counterfactual form in S156: S156 (la-to-fe-su to [to-go [X] Y]) = single-sentence attributed counterfactual. S160 (la-to-fe-su to lo-go-su be ... de) = multi-sentence attributed model scope.
  • The la-to-fe-su on the close sentence mirrors the opener: the same body that opened the scope explicitly closes it. In formal register this symmetry is expected (an investigation report's model-space is opened and closed by the same institutional voice). Informal register may omit the close or let actuality-return handle it.
  • Contrast with S159: S159 opens scope impersonally (no thinker); S160 attributes scope to an institution. Both are valid; the choice signals whether the model claims an institutional owner.

S161 la-to-re-su to lo-go-su be. la-to-re-su to [la-li-pe ne-ko lo-si-su]. la-to-re-su to [lo-si-su de go lo-ne-fe be]. la-to-re-su to lo-go-su de. According to the standing doctrine, the following causal model applies: The doctrine holds that: the licensed party retains custody of the archive. The doctrine holds that: archive decay causes tension to arise. According to the doctrine, the analysis closes.

Notes

  • la-to-re-su = agent:standing-doctrine (W064, the standing organized doctrine/policy). to lo-go-su be = activates the causal model under this attributor. This form means "the doctrine opens a model scope" — a sustained "according to [doctrine]" frame.
  • The inner sentences use la-to-re-su to [proposition]: single-sentence epistemic attribution continuing to cite the doctrine as the source. Within the model scope, the doctrine can either (a) use bare in-model assertions as in S160 (no per-sentence attributor), or (b) maintain explicit attribution sentence by sentence. S161 shows (b) — full attribution retained for legal/formal register.
  • la-li-pe = agent: licensed-party (li-pe = person + threshold crossing = accredited party; compositional, unregistered). ne-ko = W003 (containment relation / custody).
  • go lo-ne-fe be = cause + patient:tension + generation = "causing tension to arise" (causal sub-clause using go inside the model sentence).
  • The key design distinction (now corpus-attested): | Scope type | Form | Attribution | |---|---|---| | Single-sentence attributed counterfactual | la-X to [to-go [X] Y] | X owns the sentence | | Multi-sentence impersonal model scope | to lo-go-su be ... de | No thinker asserted | | Multi-sentence attributed model scope | la-X to lo-go-su be ... de | X owns the scope | | Sustained theory-attribution, full | la-X to lo-go-su be; la-X to [prop]; la-X to lo-go-su de | X cited per sentence |
