Certain Answers Meet Zero-One Laws
Summary: Refines certain answers via limiting probabilities over interpretations of missing data. Proves a 0–1 law—almost-certain answers are exactly naive answers—while constraints yield computable rational probabilities and tractable characterizations of answer comparisons.
