Semantic Classes Limit Automatic Combinations

Token Type determines sentence position. Semantic Class determines whether the combination is meaningful.

Token Type determines sentence position. Semantic Class determines whether the combination is meaningful.

Rule Explanation

Explanation

A Pattern can place a token in a structural slot, but generation must also respect semantic-class constraints from the active Usage Profile. Structural fit alone is not permission to combine unrelated meanings.

Correct Examples

  1. eat + rice → valid
  2. eat + phone → invalid
  3. go + home → valid
  4. go + water → invalid

Boundary

Do not enable a broad generator profile simply because two tokens fit the same structural slot types.
