irregularity concentrates in the conjugations closed to new members
The classes that admit no new verbs carry almost every stored alternation, and the class that still admits new verbs carries almost none.
Three separately established alternations sit in the same two conjugations, and the coincidence is the claim. A conjugation open to new members cannot carry many stored alternations, because a speaker coining a verb has no way to learn them and would produce the regular shape instead, which is how the alternation would be lost. A closed conjugation is under no such pressure and can accumulate them indefinitely. The status of the three conjugations as open or closed is therefore not an independent fact about them but a consequence of where the alternations are, and the residue is the one open class that looks like an alternation and is not.

Premises
derivation.premisesWhat 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.

Premises (3)
derives 3 of 4enumerated
The respelling class, which is open and which sits in the conjugation that still admits new members, because it is a fact about the writing system rather than a stored alternation.
Residue (1)
- CLASSverbo con cambio ortográficounstatedno failed premise is named, so this row records that the case is not covered without recording why
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.conclusionsWhat 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.coverageThe arithmetic half is a required field and the build checks it. The residue rows are the structured half of the same statement.

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.

The classes that admit no new verbs carry almost every stored alternation, and the class that still admits new verbs carries almost none.
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
A4One 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.
