Benefactive and Affected-Party Marking
Who benefits from or is affected by this action?
Grammatical marking of the participant for whose benefit, or to whose detriment, an action is performed.
- T1 · Documented
Field record pending — no linked language specimens yet.
What linguistic research records.
- T2 · Interpreted
systems record actors and objects but rarely who is affected downstream
How Lanskrit reads the code deficit.
- T3 · Proposed
operations parameterised by beneficiary
Speculative constructs — not executable code.
- T4 · Executed
Not yet compiled to a deterministic runtime.
Deterministic runtime — the graft as running machinery.
Each tier is a different kind of claim. We keep them visually distinct so a reader can never confuse a field record with a deterministic run.
Documented
What linguistic research records.
- beneficiary of an action
- party affected by an action
- moral or social direction of an action
Interpreted
How Lanskrit reads the code deficit.
- systems record actors and objects but rarely who is affected downstream
Proposed
Speculative constructs — not executable code.
- operations parameterised by beneficiary
- impact records
Executed
Deterministic runtime — the graft as running machinery.
No executable runtime yet. This capability has not been compiled to a deterministic machine.
- beneficiary and affected-party fields on operations
- impact-aware permissions
- Benefactive marking varies widely; do not assume a single universal category.
No specific languages have been linked to this capability yet.
Cited as examples of the feature, not as claims about all speakers of these languages.
