Not-Given Plausibility among Lectiones

Pair of lectiones for which the editor is either unable or unwilling to offer a judgment regarding the plausibility emerging from their comparison.

Overview

Notation	Conceptual AST	Paper Output
`%⊙	…%`	`PlausibilityAssessment(
PlausibilitySeq{
lectiones: [ ⊙, … ],
links: [
PlausibilityLink(
kind: Alterative,
degree: None
), …
]
}
)`	`⦃ ⊙ ∥ … ⦄`

⊙ ∈ PLAUSIBILITY_ALLOWED = any phenomena allowed within PlausibilityAssessment (notation, AST or rendering depending on its placement).

Syntax

In the body of the text: any notation valid for expressing IbiScript phenomena separated by the not-given plausibility operator |, all enclosed within percent signs %…%.
In the phenomenon annotations/metadata: any Unicode character sequence representing plain text (philological sigla and conventions, linguistic remarks, etc.) separated by the not-given plausibility operator |, all enclosed within percent signs %…%.

See Interpretative Plausibility Assessment for the automatic rectification performed by the formatter to improve legibility.

Structural Analysis (Conceptual AST)

Notation	AST
`%a\|b\|c%`	`PlausibilityAssessment lectio: Plain("a") link: Alternative lectio: Plain("b") link: Alternative lectio: Plain("c")`
`+textus;h=%a\|b%+`	`Addition[medium][meta] Plain("textus")`

Line 1 of the example tables shows the plausibility hierarchy applied to _lectiones_ in the main text (e.g. epigraphic phenomena); line 2 shows the use case in annotations, i.e. among the optional metadata supported by certain phenomena.
