Overview

[[[[⊙‽ᵟ]]], [rust Erasure { content: [Gap { ⊙ }], cert: γ }], [⟦[⊙]◇ᵟ⟧], )

  • ⊙ ∈ PREVIOUS_SEEN_ALLOWED = the relevant gap notation.
  • ‽ᵟ ∈ {?, !, ε} = uncertainty marker ?, certainty marker !, or empty string (ε).
  • γ ∈ {Low, High, Medium} = certainty level corresponding to the marker used in the notation.
  • ◇ᵟ ∈ {⯑, ⯁, ε} = rendering of the uncertainty/certainty marker in the notation or empty string (ε).
