holonymic
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Etymology: From holonym + -ic.
Senses: examples: text: We investigate this replacement for a proper aggregation hierarchy and argue that it comes from a misunderstanding of both the linguistic use of terminology at the point of clinical care and the logic arguments developed for its justification. In particular in SCT [SNOMED CT] the holonymic (or hypernym) role of an aggregating concept is used as a source of inheritance which is clearly incorrect. Our explanation for this SCT modelling strategy is that the role of such a holonym has undergone the process of metonymic substitution, which is substitution of the authentic word for one that serves as a metaphor for the original. The assignment of attributes and relations of the meronymic (sub-part) members of the holonym (super-part) to be one of the holonym itself can at best be called metonymic inheritance. Importantly, if it is allowed to operate at all, it must operate from the bottom up, that is the attributes move from the part to the whole, that is, in reverse to what we normally think of as the direction of inheritance, from the top down.
ref: 2006, Jon Patrick, “Metonymic and holonymic roles and emergent properties in the SNOMED CT ontology”, in AOW Proceedings, volume 72: Australasian Ontology Workshop: AOW '06: proceedings of the second Australasian workshop on advances in ontologies, 2006, pages 61–67:

Senses: examples: text: I like this notion of an "alignment tax" […] the reason I might compromise is if there's some tension, between having the AI that's robustly trying to do what I want, and having the AI that is competent or intelligent, and the alignment tax is intended to capture that gap—that cost that I incur if I insist on alignment.
ref: 2019 August 29, Paul Christiano, Current work in AI alignment, EA Global San Francisco 2019:
text: The fact that larger models are less subject to forgetting may be related to the fact that larger models do not incur significant alignment taxes.
ref: 2021 December 1, Askell, A. et. al., “A General Language Assistant as a Laboratory for Alignment”, in arXiv, →DOI:
text: We want an alignment procedure that avoids an alignment tax, because it incentivizes the use of models that are unaligned but more capable on these tasks.

text: We note that instead of an alignment tax our proposal entails a safety dividend – the more rational the system the more capable and the safer it will be.

This thesis hereafter uses the arrow to indicate troponymous relation of which the word to the left of the arrow is the hypernym and the word to the right is the troponym.

After mapping through ECTED [English-Chinese Translation Equivalents Database], the program returned Chinese verb pairs as (16-b) shows.
