Update-Theoretic Dynamic Generalized Quantifiers #

@cite{charlow-2021}

Same operators as DynamicGQ.Basic, but defined directly over StateCCP W E := State W E → State W E — @cite{charlow-2021}'s main contribution.

The key insight: Mvar_u (equation 78) maximizes over the entire context, not per-assignment. This makes it non-distributive, which is exactly what produces cumulative readings automatically.

def Semantics.Dynamic.DynamicGQ.UpdateTheoretic.Evar_u {W : Type u_1} {E : Type u_2} (v : ) (P : EProp) :

Existential dref introduction at the state level (equation 74): for each world-assignment pair in the context, non-deterministically extend the assignment at position v with some entity satisfying P.

Equations

    Mereological maximization at the state level (equation 78): apply K, then retain only those output pairs where v is maximal across the entire output state. This is the non-distributive operator.

    Equations
    Instances For

      Cardinality test at the state level (equation 75): filter the context for pairs where atomCount(v(g)) = n.

        Dynamic sequencing at the state level (equation 80): function composition. s[L;R] := R(L(s)).

              M_v is NOT distributive: it surveys the entire context to determine which assignments have maximal v-values. TODO: Prove by exhibiting a 2-element context where per-element maximization differs from whole-context maximization.

              Cardinality tests ARE distributive: they only inspect one pair at a time.

              The update-theoretic composed meaning has cumulative truth conditions. TODO: Formalize.
