The issue in Figure 1 encodes a non-transitive informational dependency that is expressible in Hamblin-style or Ciardelli-Roelofsen (2011) inquisitive frameworks but not in partition semantics.

Ciardelli-Roelofsen (2011)(used in semantics and inquisitive logic): A reference to work by philosophers Ivano Ciardelli and Floris Roelofsen from 2011; they developed a modern system for understanding how questions work in language and logic.
Hamblin-style frameworks(used in philosophy of language and logic): A way of analyzing questions and answers developed by philosopher Charles Hamblin, where questions are understood by looking at what answers would count as correct.
Informational dependency(used in logic and semantics): When one piece of information relies on or is connected to another piece of information—knowing one thing depends on knowing something else.
Inquisitive frameworks(used in philosophy of language): Philosophical systems designed to study how questions work—how they're asked, what they mean, and how they differ from statements that just declare facts.
