Follow-up to #746 addressing a real methodological flaw: markedOptions was stipulated (counts typed from the paper's prose), and a stipulation error slipped through — (6b) Dem Num N A was 0, but partial movement is marked by (7b-v), so it is 1. The check didn't catch it because (6b) triggered neither extreme of markedness_extremes — exactly the danger of stipulation.

Why it stays transcribed: Cinque's marked-option count is provably non-local — the same first bare N-raise is unmarked in the roll-up (6x) (vacuous pied-piping, resolved later) but marked in (6c). So it can't be a clean compositional function.

  • Corrected (6b) → 1; markedness_extremes now a clean iff at the bottom (no marked option ⇔ very many: (6a),(6x)) that the error had hidden.
  • Added markedMoves — a genuinely derived local proxy (min marked moves over the enumerated derivation space) — with two theorems proving it is insufficient: markedMoves_ne_markedOptions (disagrees on the roll-up) and markedMoves_underdetermines_frequency ((6x) very-many and (6c) very-few share one local marked move). This justifies the holistic transcription. All decide-checked; axiom-clean (propext only).
