;
; A CONCRETE PROOF that statistical structure alone can disambiguate:
; "I deposited money at the bank by the river"
;
; ZERO HARDCODING: All frame definitions, sense frequencies, evidence
; scores, and cluster names are COMPUTED from corpus statistics.
; No hand-coded rules about 'bank' meanings are used.
;
; The proof shows:
; 1. Clusters emerge from PMI computation on the corpus
; 2. 'bank' appears in multiple clusters (= ambiguous)
; 3. Context words' cluster membership resolves the ambiguity
; 4. Evidence scores are actual computed PMI values
