v0.7: The Grammar of Simulation

The Grammar of Simulation, version 0.7 (2026-11-03). This version presents the same results as v0.6, rewritten to lead with each finding and to state each limit once.

• Dataset: sha256 dc951a62c44ca9786ba5286ba421d7b1ac8447981c43bf3c82b03c381172bb7a, unchanged from v0.6.
• Read it: at https://simgrammar.com/paper/, or as the attached PDF (119 pages, down from 124).
• Cite it: CITATION.cff, with the dataset hash. The concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23846209 resolves to the newest version.

What changed since v0.6 (#86):

• Abstract: cut to about 500 words. Six findings, each with its key number, and one Reliability paragraph on cross-model agreement.
• Body:
  • Every section leads with its finding.
  • Robustness checks are reported as what was tested and what held.
  • A check that failed is stated once, where the finding is made.
• Limits: §2.6 is now five short limits: sample, raters, agreement, relations, and coverage and recency. The full detail is in a new Appendix F (Reliability): ratings and calibration, the second rater, the rated mechanics, the coding sample, the cross-model check, and the rating sample-size simulation.
• Legibility (§5.6): the correlation comes first (ρ = −0.42), then the checks it survives, then the second model's weaker reading (ρ = −0.21). The section now says plainly that legibility tracks variety, not the number of couplings.
• Corrections:
  • Sentences that the cross-model run had made out of date now report what it found.
  • The site's home strip now matches §6.4: the ten breaking techniques lose lockstep play and re-simulation, and logging their outputs restores replay.
• Book: the same rule applies across all chapters, and chapter 13 is the single home for the book's limits.

No record, score, statistic, or stored rank changed.
