Inhibition2
Successful checking may turn a cultural exception into an inferred ordinary rule
Where this hypothesis actsHuman recipients interpreting repeated, successfully verified cues during human–AI transmission
What is proposedSuppress inference that repeated checks convey additional typicality information
With whatChange of environment or regimen
HowDisclose automatic, noncommunicative generation of checks or provide a notice that repetition conveys no additional typicality information
Possible resultPossible reduction in certification-induced default/exception reversals

Overlapping updates may transmit conflicting cultural rules despite accurate individual recall
Where this hypothesis actsFamiliar-to-new-partner transfer in communities learning an artificial reference system
What is proposedRemove the contribution of partner history to convention inference
With whatChange of environment or regimen
HowReset partner history independently while retaining a coherent shared record
Possible resultExpected loss of familiar-to-new-partner transfer attributable to partner history

Feedback restoration1
Correction order may bias later rule meanings through beliefs about why examples were chosen
Where this hypothesis actsDuring source-grounded correction and human reconstruction of cultural rules
What is proposedAlign inferred scope with the source rule by correcting the inferred sampling policy
With whatChange of environment or regimen
HowMake example-selection policies observable and explicitly reset the current policy, retaining why the example was selected and the contextual relation defining its scope
Possible resultExpected reduction in excess correction-order effects on scope-transfer errors despite equivalent literal recall
