Spatial Trace Bridge: Path Telicity → Fragment Verbs #

Connects the spatial dimension theory (Events/SpatialTrace.lean, Events/DimensionBridge.lean) to concrete motion verb entries in Fragments/English/Predicates/Verbal.lean and telicity diagnostics.

What it exercises #

Structure #

  1. Per-verb path specification — verify levinClass.pathSpec for motion verbs
  2. PathShape → Telicity → Licensing pipeline — full chain verification
  3. Motion VP telicity data — verb + PP pairs with path shapes
  4. Diagnostic bridge — connect path telicity to for/in compatibility

Each motion verb's levinClass and pathSpec annotation is verified by rfl. Changing any annotation breaks exactly one theorem here.

Manner-of-motion verbs are path-neutral (path from PP).

The full chain from PathShape through Telicity to licensing is verified for all three shapes. The LicensingPipeline instance for PathShape is in DimensionBridge.lean.

A motion VP datum: verb + PP + path shape + expected telicity.

                  Connect path telicity to for/in adverbial compatibility. Since diagnostics are defined on VendlerClass, we bridge through the Vendler classification of motion verbs.
