Section on restrictions?

[nschneid]

There were some restrictions that I learned about today from Omri:

• A scene unit (P/S) cannot be immediately under a D unit.
• A parallel scene (H) cannot have smaller parallel scenes immediately under it.

Maybe these are mentioned somewhere in the guidelines, but I think it would be nice to have a compact description of which categories can occur under which other categories, which categories can be combined on the same unit (like S+A), and so forth.

Yes, definitely, I will try to phrase something.

[dotdv]

For now, until we add something to the guidelines here are some basic restrictions:
P/S, D, T, A and G can appear only in Scene units.
C, E and N can only appear in non-Scene units
Q, R and F can appear both in Scene as well in non-Scene units.
Regarding types of scene units: currently the guidelines allow only for H scenes, A scenes and E scenes.

Great! The thing you mentioned about coordination ("D in coordination", #28 (comment)) is an exception, right?

[dotdv]

Right.

[nschneid]

Is it true that only A, D, and T can be remote? #34 (comment)

What about:

• I tried to learn the material 3 times, and so did he.
  I'd guess: [I_A tried_D to_F learn_P [the_E material_C]_A [3_E times_C]_Q]_H and_L [so_F did_F he_A (tried)_D (to)_F (learn)_P [(the)_E (material)_C]_A [(3)_E (times)_C]_Q]_H
  i.e. repeating all the elided material as remote.

I didn't mean to say that, sorry if I misled you.

I wrote you a long reply but deleted it since I just remembered that we changed the Remote section, and I myself am now confused how we should treat Remote in coordination.

I can just say that your suggestion of repeating all the elided material as remote will probably solve the ambiguity as to what unit is necessary and what unit isn't. But it's an essentially different approach from the principle we followed so far, so I'll leave it up to Omri to determine.

I added a restrictions summary chapter draft to the end of the guidelines. At first I thought it could open chapter 2: "a birds eye's view of the categories" but I wasn't sure about it, so eventually added it to the end by default.

[nschneid]

I agree, this is sufficiently technical that it's better to have at the end of the doc.

[nschneid]

It says that only H and L can occur at the top-level. What about G, as in: "Unfortunately, to graduate in time, I need to take this course"?

Sounds good

By convention we putwithin the scene although it's understood it takes scope over it.
