Summarizing, minimalist assumptions lead to (something like) the cognitions (95) on Attract/Move. Where CH is a (possibly trivial) chain headed by α, (95) a. α can raise, leaving the trace "t", a copy of α; b. Formal features of the trace of A-movement are deleted and erased; c. The head of CH can attract or be attracted by K, but traces cannot attract and their features can be attracted only under narrow conditions reviewed (and left partially open).
