    Interface Costs

    What the search counts against a stemma. A reading arising costs gain, and a reading the base text holds arose too. A reading lost costs 1, or less where the editorial principles say a loss is weak evidence.

    interface Costs {
        copyDeviation: number;
        gain: number;
        lostState: number;
        redundantLoss: number;
        transferLoss: number;
    }
    Index
    copyDeviation: number

    The copy carrying a version lacking one of its readings, since a copy may fail to show what its version holds. Where it is Infinity, a copy carries its version exactly.

    gain: number

    A reading arising. Ten times a loss, since an addition at exactly the same place is very unlikely to be made twice (shared addition), while a perforation is easily struck.

    lostState: number

    A lost state, so that one is posited only where shared additions require it.

    redundantLoss: number

    A redundant reading lost, for the share of a loss: the removal of redundancies is expected and happens in two branches independently (independent cleanup).

    transferLoss: number

    A reading lost on the way into another system, for the share of a loss: a re-cut was an editorial pass of its own, and what it lacks says little about where it was cut from.
