Fourteen corpora split and classified: aesop, bierce, chekhov, holmes, keefe, lawson, lorimer, maupassant, nobody, plaintales, poe, torchy, wallingford and winesburg, each with its splitter and the hand-written groups and pages; catalogue v2 and v3; and the shared splitters gutenberg_chunks.py, se_split.py and se_build.py.

"""Hand-built reference grouping of the Aesop predicaments (Claude-written, no inference of any kind).
|
|
|
|
One fable is one story and one scene, so a group's member count is also its story count.
|
|
Recurrence rule, scaled to the corpus: with 313 fables a group needs at least 13 members
|
|
(max(3, 4% of 313) = 13). Groups of 5-12 are allowed but are marked SMALL below and reported
|
|
separately. Each fable is in at most one group; fables that fit no recurring situation stay
|
|
unassigned.
|
|
Options follow DESIGN.md: 3-5 per group, each marked by where it came from --
|
|
'archetype' a fixed, setting-free option
|
|
'scene:N' what someone in fable N actually did (or refused to do)
|
|
'filled' written to fill a gap the fables leave
|
|
`moves` names spine paths and a direction only (+ / - / risk / set). No magnitudes: the model never
|
|
chooses a number. Skill labels proposed for this corpus: wit (seeing through a trick, and turning it),
|
|
prudence (looking before you leap, knowing your limits, keeping what you have).
