Abstract
Abstract This squib presents evidence against a proposed agenthood constraint on non-culminating construals of accomplishment predicates (Demirdache and Martin 2015). This constraint on the agenthood properties of the causer subject has been argued to result in two types of languages with non-culmination construals: (i) languages in which any form of non-culmination requires agent control, and (ii) languages that require agent control only if non-culmination manifests itself in a lack of change of state entirely. New data from the Interior Salish language challenge the necessity of an agenthood constraint and show that there are languages in which agent control is not required for non-culmination, even when there is no change of state.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
