Graded Numeral Roundness (k-ness Model) #

@cite{krifka-2007} @cite{sigurd-1988} @cite{woodin-etal-2023} @cite{jansen-pollmann-2001} @cite{cummins-2015}

Framework-agnostic infrastructure for graded numeral roundness, following @cite{sigurd-1988}, @cite{jansen-pollmann-2001}, and @cite{woodin-etal-2023}.

A number n has k-ness (for k ∈ {2, 2.5, 5, 10}) if n = m × k × 10^b for some b ≥ 1 and 1 ≤ m ≤ 9.

The 6 properties (ordered by frequency effect, @cite{woodin-etal-2023}):

  1. 10-ness (β = 4.46) — strongest predictor of frequency
  2. 2.5-ness (β = 3.84)
  3. 5-ness (β = 2.61)
  4. 2-ness (β = 1.56)
  5. Multiple of 10 (β = 0.52)
  6. Multiple of 5 (β = 0.06) — weakest predictor

This module lives in Core because both Phenomena (empirical data) and Theories (Semantics.Montague, NeoGricean, RSA) depend on the roundness score, avoiding a cross-layer Theories→Phenomena import.

Check if n has integer k-ness: n = m × k × 10^b for b ≥ 1, 1 ≤ m ≤ 9.

    Check if n has 2.5-ness: n = m × 2.5 × 10^b for b ≥ 1, 1 ≤ m ≤ 9. Equivalent to: 2n = m × 5 × 10^b.

      The 6 graded roundness properties from Sigurd/Jansen & Pollmann.

      Each field is an independent Boolean property. The number of true properties predicts numeral frequency and pragmatic behavior.

                    Collapses the 0–6 score into 4 levels to avoid duplicating step-function logic across Theory files.

                          Count k-ness-like properties relative to a non-standard base.

                          For base b, checks divisibility by b, 2b, 5b, and 10b — mirroring the standard k-ness properties but on a different scale.

                          Examples:

                          • contextualRoundnessScore 48 12 = 2 (48 ÷ 12 = 4, 48 ÷ 24 = 2)
                          • contextualRoundnessScore 120 12 = 4 (divides by 12, 24, 60, 120)

                            Context-sensitive roundness: compose default k-ness with a non-standard base.

                            On a base-12 (dozens) scale, 48 = 4 × 12 is "round" even though its default k-ness score is 0. On base-60 (minutes), 120 = 2 × 60 is round.

                            The contextual score derives from actual divisibility properties relative to the base (not a flat bonus), paralleling how standard k-ness derives from divisibility by 2/2.5/5/10 × powers of 10.

                              Multiples of 10 have roundness score ≥ 2 (multipleOf5 + multipleOf10 both true). This is the key lemma for all downstream sorry-free proofs.
