"""Do factor families survive real language? The synthetic derivation found colour, count, and size families because templated phrases place exactly one member of each family in a fixed slot, so family members never co-occur. Real descriptions break every part of that: free word order, stacked adjectives, synonyms, and phrases that mention no attribute at all. This measures how much of the mutual-exclusivity signal survives, on Visual Genome region descriptions, using no lexicon and no labels. Families are recovered as low-co-occurrence, high-context-similarity groups: two words of one factor rarely modify the same head, and when they do appear they appear in the same distributional company. That is the paradigmatic relation of distributional semantics, and the greedy exclusivity pass of the synthetic pipeline is its degenerate case.
