Formalize the second half of [cinque-2005]: markedness tracks cross-linguistic frequency. markedOptions transcribes the number of marked movement options ((7b): partial movement, without-pied-piping, picture-of-who pied-piping are marked; no-movement / whose-picture pied-piping / total movement unmarked) in each attested order's cheapest derivation, from the per-order analysis (6a–6x).

  • markedOptions_isSome_iff_attested: markedness is defined exactly on the derivable orders.
  • markedness_extremes: zero marked options ⇒ most frequent (very many); two ⇒ rare (few/very few). The one-marked-option middle is mixed — stated honestly as the paper's residual exceptions, not a fabricated strict monotone. All decide-checked.

Leaves only the Cat.Dem substrate-encoding refinement deferred. Module note corrected (the full 14/10 enumeration is already present, not a TODO).
