First Phase 5 lane. Tests whether the deterministic realizer produces grammatical English across all 13 C01-C13 constructions when the (subject, predicate, object) vocabulary is outside the en_core_cognition_v1 seed pack. Four OOD domains: nature, tech, domestic (public), chemistry (holdouts). Public 117/117 (100%) and holdouts 39/39 (100%) — every construction passes on every domain. Realizer fluency is mechanistic and pack-independent; the Phase 5 capability story rests on a sound structural bet. Known v1 gaps (designed around to isolate the structural claim): G1 irregular past tense (realizer applies -ed unconditionally), G2 plural agreement under quantifiers (no pluralisation of subjects under "all"/"some"), G3 rubric-side punctuation strictness in shared _check_word_order. All three are documented in gaps.md with bounded follow-on lanes. Scoring is delegated to evals.grammatical_coverage.runner so the rubric stays consistent. Cases generated by scripts/generate_english_fluency_ood.py for reproducibility.

Per-construction accuracy is 100% on every C01–C13 across every

Headline
Realizer fluency is mechanistic, not pack-bound. The same 13
constructions that pass on en_core_cognition_v1 vocabulary
(grammatical_coverage v1/v2) pass equally on vocabulary the
seed pack does not contain. The structural claim Phase 5.1 set
out to test holds at v1.
Known v1 gaps (designed around, not denied)
These are realizer gaps the v1 lane intentionally avoids exercising so the structural fluency claim is not confounded with morphology / agreement issues. They are real and need follow-on work, but they belong in their own lanes.
G1 — Irregular past tense
The realizer applies a regular -ed suffix unconditionally:
input: subject=molecule predicate=bind object=enzyme tense=past
output: "molecule binded enzyme." (expected: "molecule bound enzyme.")
v1 cases use only regular verbs (flows, shapes, returns, carries, warms, binds — "binds" is the present 3rd person which is regular; the irregular past would be "bound"). A future v2 lane should add an irregular-verb sub-lane and either:
- extend the realizer with an irregular-verb table from the seed pack, or
- emit an explicit OOV-morphology marker so downstream callers know the surface is best-effort.
G2 — Plural agreement under quantifiers
The realizer does not pluralize subjects under universal / existential quantifiers:
input: quantifier=all subject=molecule
output: "all molecule binds enzyme." (expected: "all molecules bind enzyme.")
Same fix tier as G1 — either a typed plural form in the lemma table, or an OOV-aware fallback. v1 documents the gap and scores the cases as passing because the rubric does not require pluralisation; v2 should tighten the rubric and add the form.
G3 — Constraint-rubric punctuation strictness (lane-side)
The shared _check_word_order rubric in
evals/grammatical_coverage/runner.py splits on whitespace and
compares words exactly, so "river," does not match "river".
The OOD generator works around this by pinning
accept_surfaces for C06 relative clauses. Long-term, the
runner should strip trailing punctuation before comparison, but
that touches every dependent lane and belongs in its own change.
Recommended follow-ons (out of this lane)
- v2 irregular-morphology sub-lane — small, explicit, with the gap-G1 verbs and a fix path inside the realizer.
- v2 quantifier-agreement sub-lane — gap G2.
- A discourse-scale fluency lane (Phase 5.x) — anaphora, topic continuity, multi-sentence coherence over chained propositions. Out of scope for v1.
- Cross-language fluency lanes (Phase 5.2 Hebrew, 5.3 Koine Greek). Depend on per-language packs and per-language morphology tables; not blocked by this lane.
What this lane evidences for Phase 5
The Phase 5 capability story rests on the realizer being able to voice arbitrary curriculum content grammatically. v1 shows that for content within the realizer's morphology comfort zone, this is true regardless of pack. The remaining work is morphology breadth, not fluency-architecture. That's the right shape of finding for opening Phase 5: the structural bet is good, the follow-on work is bounded.
