The curated, irreducible world-fact primitives multi-step composition needs
(ADR-0175 section 10: the engine can't derive 'twice = 2' from arithmetic). The
microscope flagged these via the 0015/0025/0024/0033 wrongs.
language_packs/data/en_core_comparatives_v1/: 9 closed-set multiplicative
comparatives (twice/double/triple/quadruple/half/quarter + inflections) -> scalar
ops. manifest.json with sha256 of the bytes on disk (CLAUDE.md pack rule).
Refusal-preferring: non-terminating/ambiguous comparatives (a third, several)
deliberately excluded; expansion via HITL corridor.
generate/derivation/comparatives.py: extract_comparative_scalars() ->
ComparativeScalar(op, scalar, span, cue). Fixed lexemes + the '<number> times'
pattern (digit or word-number via WORD_NUMBERS). Lexeme-level (ADR-0165);
deterministic (text-order); supplies only the SCALAR primitive — referent
binding is the multi-step search's job (ADR-0176).
14 tests incl. refusal-preferring discipline + pack integrity (manifest checksum
matches bytes on disk). Verified: derivation suite 45/45; ruff clean; smoke 67;
packs 141. Not wired into serving (data + extractor ready for ADR-0176 MS phases).
