                Main Result: exhMW(some) holds at w1 (compositionally derived).

                This proves the scalar implicature "some but not all" using:

                1. Montague compositional semantics
                2. @cite{spector-2016} exhaustivity operator

                Corollary: exhMW(some) does NOT hold at w3.

                All-worlds are excluded by exhaustification of "some".
