******Now doing Stratum #1******
Faithfulness Delay:
Markedness constraint AlignL prefers no losers, joins stratum #*.
Faithfulness constraints are excluded from stratum.
Results so far:

******Now doing Stratum #2******
Faithfulness Delay:
No rankable markedness constraints are available for this stratum.
Avoid The Inactive:
Here are the active, as-yet-unranked Faithfulness constraints available for this stratum:

Smallest Effective Faithfulness Sets
Evaluating subsets of increasing size:
Subset size = *
Subset under consideration: Id(rd)
Markedness constraint freed up: AlignR
Markedness constraint freed up: *round
Number of markedness constraints freed up: 2
This subset is an improvement.
Subset under consideration: Id(rd)/Init
Number of markedness constraints freed up: 0
Subset under consideration: Id(hi)
Number of markedness constraints freed up: 0
Faithfulness constraint Id(rd) joins stratum #2 as member of best subset.
