One owner per claim
Claim: a thing is in the scope of one member of the family, and every other member links it.
- Grade: convention, argued from the standard's one-place-per-fact principle; untested for scope tables.
- Evidence: the family's rule on the front page; one place per fact in the standard.
- Check:
scope-overlap(heuristic: two members share a phrase of three words in their in rows) andscope-overlap-semantic(heuristic: two in rows of different members reach a cosine of 0.70). - Reader styles: none.
What it asks
- Each member states what it holds in the in rows of its scope table.
- A thing another member holds is an out row that links that member.
- Two members that claim the same phrase are a finding: one owns it, the other links it.
Why
- This is one place per fact applied to scopes: knowledge that must change together lives in one place.
- Two members claiming one thing are two places to change, and they drift.
Limits
- The check compares words, not meaning. Two rows may say the same thing in other words, or share a phrase and differ.
- On the six members today it finds no shared phrase. That shows the tables can be read, not that they do not overlap in meaning.
- No study compares one repository per problem with fewer, wider ones.
