Interpretation Dependency Profile

Text Rooted With Literary Model

Profiled target: Nicholas Lunn — four-part rhetorical reading of Luke 15

Argument-dependency analysis. This record identifies premises and inferential steps; it does not increase the target's evidence rank.

Premises

Direct Textual Data · Directly Demonstrated · Core

Luke 15 repeats lost/found/rejoicing language and contains sheep, coin, younger-son, and elder-son units.

Support records: LIT_LUK_15_LOST_FOUND_JOY_REFRAIN

Premise P1

Literary Inference · Reasonable Inference · Core

The discourse is best organized as two major movements, each subdivided into two corresponding units.

Support records: WORK_LUNN_2009_LUKE15

Premise P2

Literary Inference · Reasonable Inference · Bridge

The coin and elder son function as related “lost at home” elements.

The elder son is not explicitly called lost.

Support records: WORK_LUNN_2009_LUKE15, LIT_LUK_15_UNRESOLVED_ELDER_ENDING

Premise P3

Allegorical Correspondence · Not Demonstrated By Passage · Rejected Shortcut

Every detail across all four units has a one-to-one counterpart.

Lunn’s proposal need not entail exhaustive detail-level correspondence.

Premise P4

Dependency chain

Observe the repeated lexical/thematic refrain.
Choose a proposed discourse segmentation.
Compare the paired units rhetorically.
Withhold claims of exhaustive correspondence or chiasm unless separately demonstrated.
