Vocabulary Lattice (VL) at Work: The “Scene → Words → Sentences” Engine (Almost-Code)

DEFINITION LOCK

  • Vocabulary Lattice (VL) = a graph that turns “knowing words” into reliable output under load by binding:
    • Word → Meaning (sense) → Register → Collocations → Scene hooks → Sentence frames
  • Goal: move words from recognition → retrieval → deployment (exam-safe, natural, not forced).

DATA MODEL (VL v1.0)

  • NodeTypes
    • W Word (lemma): astonished
    • S Sense: surprised / shocked
    • R Register: formal / neutral / casual
    • C Collocation: utterly astonished; astonished to see
    • F Frame: I was ___ to ___
    • SCN Scene Anchor: accident at crossing
    • IMG Image Hook: screech, crash, scattered books
  • EdgeTypes
    • binds_to(W→S) meaning lock
    • fits(R→W) register match
    • pairs(C↔W) natural pairing
    • fills(F←W) sentence deployment
    • evoked_by(W←SCN) retrieval trigger
    • upgrades(W_low→W_high) precision ladder (e.g., scared → terrified)

HOW VL “RUNS”

  1. Pick a Scene (SCN)
  2. Select 8–12 target Words (W) that truly belong in that scene
  3. Attach:
    • 1–2 collocations (C) each
    • 1 sentence frame (F) each
  4. Produce output:
    • 1 paragraph (90–130 words) using 6+ words naturally
  5. Run sensors + repairs (below)

SENSOR PACK (VL)

  • S1: Retrieval Latency — can you recall a word in ≤2 seconds?
  • S2: Collocation Integrity — do you pair it correctly (bitterly disappointed, not strongly disappointed)?
  • S3: Register Fit — is it too fancy / too casual for the task?
  • S4: Forced-ness — does it sound “inserted”?
  • S5: Sense Accuracy — did you use the correct meaning?

REPAIR LOOPS

  • R1: Scene Rebind — same word, new micro-scene hook (stronger trigger)
  • R2: Frame Swap — change the sentence frame to reduce forcing
  • R3: Collocation Clamp — force only the best 1 collocation until stable
  • R4: Ladder Step-Down — if too hard, use a nearer word and climb back up

FAILURE MODE TRACE (short)

  • No SCN hook → slow recall → forced insertion → sentence breaks → P1 output collapse under time
