sustitución de se

The replacement of a third person dative pronoun by a shape identical to the reflexive whenever a third person accusative pronoun follows it.

The replacement takes the output of clitic ordering as its input, which is why it is stated over an operation rather than only over classes: the two pronouns have to be adjacent and in a known sequence before the condition can be read. It is not a phonological process. The shape that is replaced and the shape that replaces it are not close in sound, and no general rule of the language would derive one from the other, so the node declares itself irreducible and names the agreement it suspends. What makes the operation costly rather than merely odd is that the replacing shape is identical to the reflexive, so a cluster of this kind is spelled the same as a genuinely reflexive one and the two are told apart by the rest of the clause.

An empty list, which is an assertion: this rests on nothing external, and somebody checked. It is not the same as nobody having looked.

What it does, and when it fires

operation.rule

The domain it works in, and the firing condition as a sentence. The checkable form of that condition is the selects group below.

triggertrigger

A third person dative pronoun stands immediately before a third person accusative pronoun in the same cluster.

How much it covers

operation.coverage

How many cases the operation actually derives, out of how many it claims, and how that was counted.

derives 2 of 2enumerated

None. Both numbers the dative distinguishes are replaced by the one shape, which is why the operation loses information rather than merely moving it, and the number of the referent has then to be recovered from elsewhere in the sentence or not at all.

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

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.

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.
