PIECE 1 — greenfield el-native parser (comprehend.el), spaCy-free:
- text -> meaning-spec via invertible English morphology (the realizer's own
irregular table run BACKWARD) + a deterministic clause grammar (subject/verb
boundary, roles, ditransitive iobj, PP adjuncts, subordination, coordination).
- NEGATION IS SACRED: explicit polarity field, always present, cross-lingual
lexeme set; standalone neg adverbs (never) captured separately.
- WSD by deterministic syntactic position over a fixed sense inventory
(flies->fly, like->comparison, saw->see); engram nearest-region is the
documented runtime upgrade hook (no external model).
Polarity threaded through the whole el contract (was previously dropped at the
boundary): realizer.el realize_lang honors polarity (English do-support /
adverbial / copular negation; generic preverbal negator for es/pt/ca/it/fr/de/ro)
and places iobj; elp.el build_form_from_json carries polarity/neg_word/iobj
across JSON; morphology.el gains 'fight'.
Acceptance (native el telephone test, comprehend_gate.el): on the 5 gate
sentences polarity PRESERVED 5/5 and EXTRACTED 5/5 through parse->realize->
re-parse; 4/5 byte-identical. Built bounded (elc rc=0, cc rc=0).
elb.el:
- Auto-detect Homebrew OpenSSL (-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib) so -lssl
resolves on macOS without manual flags; no-op on Linux
- Add -include elp-c-decls.h when present in out_dir: resolves undeclared
cross-module calls in packages like ELP that lack explicit imports
ELP source:
- Add import "morphology.el" to all 29 language morphology modules
- Add language module imports to morphology.el (all langs it dispatches to)
These were missing since ELP was originally built as a monolithic unit
Implements a complete natural language generation stack in El:
- morphology.el: English pluralization, verb conjugation (40+ irregulars), determiner agreement
- vocabulary.el: inline seed lexicon (~100 entries: pronouns, nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.)
- grammar.el: CFG rules (S/NP/VP/PP), slot-map driven tree generator, s-expression renderer
- realizer.el: semantic form -> English text with tense/aspect/agreement, do-support for questions
- nlg.el: JSON-driven public API tying all modules together
- tests/run.sh: acceptance corpus runner (6 tests, all passing)
