3. Status of Proposed Constraints: Necessary or Unnecessary

Constraint Status
Agr loc - + Necessary
Agr + - weak trigger Necessary
Ident initial Necessary
Id + - Necessary
Id - + Necessary
Agr Loc + - Not necessary

4. Ranking Arguments, based on the Fusional Reduction Algorithm

This run sought to obtain the Skeletal Basis, intended to keep each final ranking argument as pithy as possible.

The final rankings obtained are as follows:

Ident initial >> Id + -  
Id + - >> Id - +  
Id - + >> Agr Loc + -  
Agr + - weak trigger >> Id - +  
Agr loc - + >> Id + -  

5. Mini-Tableaux

The following small tableaux may be useful in presenting ranking arguments. They include all winner-rival comparisons in which there is just one winner-preferring constraint and at least one loser-preferring constraint. Constraints not violated by either candidate are omitted.
