"A thoroughgoing elucidation of the formal characteristics of shape rules awaits future research." (Stump, 2001)

i like the phrase "awaits future research", for a start -- it's a thoughtful way the establishment has of saying HEY, KIDS, HERE'S A PAPER THAT NEEDS WRITING -- but i also like the idea of the formal characteristics of shape rules. and 2001 wasn't that long ago. it's possible it hasn't been done in the interim.

[makes note to talk about this with prof tomorrow]
