Primes¶
- Quantifier
- In law and statutes "any person who," "no person shall," "every employer must," "at least three witnesses" — statutory language is built out of quantifier choices that determine breadth, burden of proof, and what counts as a counterexample, with "all" admitting no exception and "most" admitting discretion.
This sourceDocuments how drafting choices — mandatory 'shall', universal 'any person', 'no person shall' — fix the breadth and burden a statute imposes, the legal instance of quantifier-scope choice.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
