Turnover tests relational inheritance

This proposed study asks whether shared meaning can survive replacing every learner when no person or record carries the key. The hypothesis: a relationship between two contributions identifies a distinction, while either alone is uninformative. Researchers would reshuffle partners in independently seeded groups, preserving each contribution's distribution, then restore the original pairing. Support would require loss of recoverable meaning after reshuffling, recovery after restoration, and reconstruction by a fresh cohort with no codebook or informed survivor. Models of shared memory and relational learning must also miss these tests; otherwise they explain the pattern.
