DERIVATIONder.spa.el-dativo-posesivo-nombra-al-dueno

the possessive dative names the owner inside the clause

A pronoun in the dative names the owner of the thing affected, so the clause states the ownership relation without any possessive word.

The ordinary way to state ownership is a possessive word inside the phrase naming the thing owned. This pattern does it from outside, by putting the owner in the dative of the clause, and the effect is to present the owner as affected by the event rather than merely as the owner. The dative slot is obligatorily doubled, exactly as any dative is, which is what shows the pattern uses the ordinary dative rather than a special one. It is also the second half of the accidental pattern, which is why that pattern is a composition rather than a primitive.

Premises

derivation.premises

What has to be true for this chain to run. Roughly half of a chain's premises are other derivations, so a premise is often itself a chain.

the possessive dative names the owner inside the clause

A pronoun in the dative names the owner of the thing affected, so the clause states the ownership relation without any possessive word.

Premises (2)

Conclusions (1)

derives 1 of 1enumerated

None.

Premises and conclusions declare no order (A16); listed alphabetically by id, a display choice and not a claim about which matters most. The steps above them are the one part of this component that IS a declared sequence, read from the applies-to composition chain.

Conclusions

derivation.conclusions

What the chain establishes. This is a set rather than a single fact: 45 percent of sampled derivations conclude about several things at once, and the several-ness is the claim.

Coverage, and what it does not reach

derivation.coverage

The arithmetic half is a required field and the build checks it. The residue rows are the structured half of the same statement.

derives 1 of 1enumerated

None.

every case was counted, and the count closes: nothing is left over

Residue

No residue row. Where the coverage statement above says nothing is left over, that agreement is the record being consistent with itself; where it does not, the structured half is missing.

Everything joined to this object

One group per typed edge, in both directions. A1b guarantees no object node is an orphan, so this is the whole navigation: an object with no edges would have failed the build rather than reached this page.

What this object is a kind of

Walking this object's own `is-a` edges: what it is a kind of. Several branches from one object are several classification axes, not competing supertypes.

None in this view. This subgraph happens to be a tree, which the explorer draws as one without assuming it is one.

Siblings are listed by name, then by id to break ties. That is a display choice made here and not an order the graph asserts.

Fan-out per dimension

A4

One row per dimension, largest first. That is a display order, not a verdict: 03-schema.md declares no threshold above which fan-out is too much, so this reports the count and grades nothing.

What kinds of this object there are

Walking the `is-a` edges that point at this object: what kinds of it there are. An object reachable two ways is drawn in both places and is still one object.
