Per-individual propositional lowering over minted (individual, class) atoms: singular membership/predicate facts + all/every/each/no universals, instantiated at every named individual, decided by the same verified ROBDD engine. Closed-table number linking (irregular/invariant priority + three regular suffix rules) is the one semantic identification — attested-pair linking only, under-link over over-link. Composer tier strictly after v1/v1b/v2-EN: monotone widening, v1 lane byte-identical. - 4 new shape-bands (en_member_single/chain/negative/atomic) each earned SERVE at the arena: 13 bands x 720 = 9,360 wrong=0; ledger re-sealed. - New hand-authored lane evals/deduction_serve/v2_member (26/26); ds-en-0022 promoted declined->entailed (the designed acceptance case); report re-pinned; contract.md refreshed to the 4-band cascade. - Typed refusals: quantifier pronouns, bare plurals, definite descriptions, relative clauses, tense, mixed connectives, universal conclusions. - Flag posture unchanged (deduction_serving_enabled default off). [Verification]: deductive 127 / smoke 180 / warmed_session 10; arena all_bands_serve_licensed wrong_is_zero; lanes v1 28/28, v2_en 26/26, v2_member 26/26.

What this lane scores
The production serving decider — the exact pipeline
chat/deduction_surface.py::deduction_grounded_surface runs on a
core chat turn: looks_like_deductive_argument (commit gate) →
comprehend (reader) → the band cascade — to_deductive_logic (Band v1)
→ to_syllogism + the categorical decider (Band v1b, ADR-0256) →
read_english_argument (Band v2-EN, ADR-0257) → read_member_argument
(Band v3-MEM, ADR-0258) — with evaluate_entailment_with_trace (the
ROBDD engine, ADR-0201/ADR-0218) deciding every band.
evals/deduction_serve/runner.py::decide calls these functions directly
(typed outcome, not rendered prose) — the same production decision the
composer makes, without re-deriving the presentation step
(generate.proof_chain.render), so this lane's pinned bytes stay stable
against wording-only changes.
Splits
v1/— the original corpus (single-token propositional + categorical).v2_en/— hand-authored REAL-English clause arguments (ADR-0257); content disjoint from the synthetic practice lexicon.v2_member/— hand-authored membership/universal arguments (ADR-0258), incl. real nouns across every number-link row-type.
This is distinct from two existing lanes that sound similar:
evals/deductive_logicscores the bareentail.pyengine against hand-authored formula strings — it never touches the reader.evals/comprehension/propositional_runner.pyscores reader fidelity by running the reader's projection through the independent oracle (evals.deductive_logic.oracle) as the decision procedure.
This lane is the only one that scores the production ROBDD engine
(entail.py, not the oracle) end-to-end from raw text — proving the
capability core chat actually serves, not just its parts in isolation.
Gold vocabulary
Four classes: entailed, refuted, unknown, declined.
declined covers every honest non-commitment: inconsistent premises
(REFUSED), an out-of-band shape (categorical/syllogism, multi-word
English propositions, nested negation inside an if/then clause — see
"Known Band v1 boundaries" below), or a shape that doesn't even commit
the turn (looks_like_deductive_argument false — not exercised by this
corpus, since every committed case reads as an argument by design).
wrong=0 discipline
wrong— the pipeline committed to a definiteentailed/refuted/unknownverdict that disagrees with gold. Must stay 0.declined(mismatch) — the pipeline declined on a case gold expected a definite verdict for. Not awrong(never a confabulation), but not a pass either — the runner requirescorrect == n(every case's outcome class matches gold exactly, including declines matchingdeclinedgold).- A case that gold marks
declinedand the pipeline also declines iscorrect— the lane rewards honest recognition of the boundary, not just committed accuracy.
Band-boundary history this corpus documents
Boundaries are DISCOVERED as declines, then PROMOTED to decided gold when
a later band earns the shape (the corpus keeps the case, renamed
…_formerly_out_of_band):
- Nested negation inside
if/then— a shared-reader grammar limit (notis reserved inside if/then slots);ds-v1-0006declined until Band v2-EN decided it (promoted, ADR-0257). - Multi-word English propositions —
ds-v1-0025declined until Band v2-EN (promoted, ADR-0257). - Categorical/syllogism shapes —
ds-v1-0023/0024/0026, decided by Band v1b since ADR-0256. is amembership —ds-en-0022declined until Band v3-MEM decided it (promoted, ADR-0258).- Still-open declines (honest, typed): verb-phrase negation
(
ds-en-0023/0024), ambiguousand/orscope (ds-en-0025), nested conditionals (ds-en-0026), existential quantifiers / bare plurals / definite descriptions / relative clauses / tense (ds-mem-0020…0026).
