Interim summary. In this section, I introduce the building blocks of the model. I define a representation as constituted by a set of unique elements with some properties and their axioms, optionally connected by at least one of three relations: precedence, correspondence, or dominance. I also show that a representation represents a full OT candidate, since it includes input and output elements, as well as the relation between the two sets of elements. Finally, I distinguish between instance, type, and kind of relations. This allows us to formulate Hypothesis I more precisely in terms of identity of types among correspondence relations.
