Column name "Number of Dependents" contains the count token "Number" and represents an absolute extensive quantity (count of people). The range [0, 9] with no negatives and discrete integer values confirms this is a count measure that accumulates meaningfully when volumes merge (total dependents across entities). All signals align strongly with real_additive: it is an absolute quantity with zero as the "nothing" value, not a ratio with 1.0 as "no change." </reasoning> <table_type_conflict>false</table_type_conflict> </result> ```
