From ffb669646dd1128d1989618c01292c960b6b8a9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "prompt.ac/@jeffrey" Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 10:47:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Walkieware: culture and place adjectives change how things look, not what language they speak MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Replaying the real miss — wwTovoz's 3D tree with a narrator, then "The tree is Latina" — through the fast relay: without help the model translated the field notes to Spanish in 3 of 3 runs, and the about-line alone did not change that (3 of 3, one recast the tree as a speaking ceiba). With one more rule in the generation policy — adjectives of culture, nationality or place describe palette, patterns, dress, flora and light, never the language of text or speech unless words, text, language or voice are mentioned — no run translated, and two of three changed the tree itself: a palm, and a flowering araucaria on a Latin American hillside.
