Notes on Logical Form: Collective vs. Distributive Predicates — I recently recognized some patterns in logic/language which connects up with some lines of research threads I’m pursuing. So decided to document these ideas and some reading materials on it. patternatlas.com/v0/logical-form
Cover image for Notes on Logical Form: Collective vs. Distributive Predicates. Shows visualization of how all selects around a collection of entities and each selects individual entities. Gives an example of “All girls gathered in the hallway” for “All” and “Each girl bought a pen” for “Each”. There’s a footnote on “All”: “There are some incompatibilities for a collective interpretation in certain contexts. See accompanying tweet.”. There’s also a copyright label of @prabros in the bottom.

Sorry, it is not going to be available for a while as it is supposed to be incrementally written. I am trying to unpack my thoughts in the thread and then attempt to do a proper write up.
