C007 — Context-independent vs context-dependent constraints
Claim: Context-independent constraints alter marginal probabilities without full interdependence; context-dependent constraints create conditional probabilities and couple parts (often historically).
Status: solid · Confidence: high · Module: M03–M04
Plain-language restatement
Some constraints only bias the odds; others make A’s next move depend on B, place, and path.
Example
Letter frequencies (independent-ish bias) vs conversational turn-taking (deeply conditional on partner and history).
