******Now doing Stratum #1******

  Agr Loc + - is excluded from stratum; prefers loser *[o o] for /o a/.
  Id - + is excluded from stratum; prefers loser *[o o a] for /o o a/.
  Id + - is excluded from stratum; prefers loser *[a o] for /a o/.

  Agr loc  - + favors no losers, joins new stratum.
  Agr + - weak trigger favors no losers, joins new stratum.
  Ident initial favors no losers, joins new stratum.

Results so far:

  Stratum 1 (newly ranked):    Agr loc  - +
                               Agr + - weak trigger

******Now doing Stratum #2******

  Agr Loc + - is excluded from stratum; prefers loser *[o o] for /o a/.

******Now doing Stratum #4******

  Search found no unranked constraints that prefer losers.

  Agr Loc + - favors no losers, joins new stratum.

Results so far:

  Stratum 1 (already ranked):  Agr loc  - +
                               Agr + - weak trigger
                               Ident initial
  Stratum 2 (already ranked):  Id + -
  Stratum 3 (already ranked):  Id - +
  Stratum 4 (newly ranked):    Agr Loc + -

  Markedness constraints still unranked:
