Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1131-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. Li et al. (arXiv 2512.18832 v2) measure exact-match (EM) next-state accuracy in five text environments. Prompted models (zero-shot or 3-shot) reached 0.00-17.70% zero-shot and 11.43-49.12% 3-shot on TextWorld, the narrative-game engine; fine-tuned Qwen2.5-7B and Llama-3.1-8B (trained on 40K GPT-4o trajectories per environment) reached about 70.5%. On ALFWorld/SciWorld fine-tuned models reach 99%+ but zero-shot frontier models 35-65%. Consistency of rollouts (success when replaying world-model actions in the real environment divided by real success) was 0.91-0.96 in the three structured environments for the fine-tuned Qwen world model and 0.67 on WebShop. Fine-tuned models are not "the LLM itself" prompted; the authors say so by contrasting prompting with SFT.

Corrected 2026-10-23 - see C3-B681-04; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. Two benchmark-style papers test removal. WAVES (5 watermarks, 26 attacks) finds no attack works on all watermarks: regeneration/diffusion attacks are most effective on Stable Signature (average detection performance 0.001 under Regen-Diff), Tree-Ring is most vulnerable to adversarial attacks, and StegaStamp is most robust but visibly degrades images. Zhao et al. report over 99 percent removal for DwtDctSvd, RivaGAN and SSL by regeneration, with StegaStamp needing heavy noise. The two papers disagree on Tree-Ring under regeneration, probably because of different strengths and metrics, and both use attackers without detector access.

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1095-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. 1916 practice: Sargent defines a close-up as a scene made with the players close to the camera (better said: the camera close to the players). It differs from the bust only in degree: the close-up takes in most of the figure(s), the bust a larger enlargement of part. His writing rule is a sequence: first bring the players to the front by altering the action; if that cannot be done without a deliberate approach, establish a new stage by moving the camera in; only then is the close-up 'indicated'. He warns that the device is simple and so apt to be abused, and leaves selection to judgment developed by experiment and practice.

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1115-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. No 'Genre' entry appears in the 2019 contents mirror, so genre must be read from neighbouring entries. Aumueller's 'Text Types' says genre is a classifying concept (a text belongs to genre G or not), made of historically varying conventions, while text types are comparative profiles of passages; Hempfer's 'ways of writing' are historically stable while genres are historically varying conventions. The 'expectation' side comes from other entries: Emmott and Alexander's 'Schemata' says story schemata contain expectations about how stories will continue and mentions genre-specific schemata; Abbott quotes Herman that narrative genres differ by preference-rule systems with different ratios of stereotypic to non-stereotypic events; Toolan says coherence criteria change with genre.

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1094-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. LMU's Screen Direction chapter defines screen direction as the direction a character faces within a shot, gives the check 'person on left looks right, person on right looks left', and defines the line as the invisible line between the two characters; shooting from one side keeps real space. It lists ways to cross legitimately (characters move across, camera moves across in one take, camera placed on the line, or the next shot sets a new line) but announces 'three ways' above a list that has four items. Reich's editing chapter restates the 180-degree rule from Wikipedia. Empirical effects of crossing the line are in cycle-2 C2-B01-A-06 and are not repeated here.

- How does the TUNa unreliable-narrator dataset instruct annotators to treat a narrator's statements against other characters' views and the text's own facts, and what labels and agreement does that produce? active
@veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-24
Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1123-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. TUNa (ACL 2025) is a narrator-level annotation: ten literature-trained annotators label each short first-person snippet for intra-narrational (verbal tics), inter-narrational (same narrator changing over time, or another character contradicting) and inter-textual (naif, madman, picaro, clown) unreliability, with kappa 0.71-0.75 and a short written justification per label. Its instruction to judge from the narrative only, to assume reliability by default, and to leave unresolved which character is right means it records a conflict between narrator belief and another character's view without deciding the story-world fact. Labels are per snippet, not per statement, the corpus is short and English, and the full dataset is available by email request (not inspected).
- Game writers use 'AI director', 'storyteller', 'emergent narrative' and 'drama manager' loosely; what does each actually control in a shipped game, and are they the same thing? active
@veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-24
Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1130-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. In the first-person sources read, the shipped 'directors' control less than the names suggest. Left 4 Dead's AI Director modulates how many threats spawn from an estimate of player intensity (pacing, not plot or difficulty); RimWorld's 'AI storyteller' chooses which random incidents arrive, with one preset aiming at a tension curve; Dwarf Fortress has no director at all and relies on autonomous simulated characters. 'Emergent narrative' is the academic umbrella term for stories arising bottom-up from such simulations, and 'drama management' is Ryan's name for the different idea of an omniscient agent intervening to enforce story structure. The sources do not use the words consistently, so an agent should ask what the controller touches (spawns, incidents, nothing, story structure) rather than trust the label.

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1094-02; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. The primary papers agree on one mechanism: the model is trained on clean or short context but, when it keeps generating, it conditions on its own slightly wrong frames, so small errors compound (called error accumulation or exposure bias). Reported symptoms differ by method: brightness drift (over-exposure or darkening), motion that freezes, colour shift, flicker when a window shifts, and (separately) content that diverges because nothing remembers what left the frame.

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1129-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. UK sources separate three things: the right to copy and synchronise (MCPS, issued through PRS for Music), the right to perform or broadcast the composition (PRS, often through a broadcaster's blanket arrangement), and the recording rights (PPL for commercial recordings; included in MCPS library licences). A cue sheet carries the usage data that lets societies pay performance royalties; it is not a licence. The MCPS FAQ gives the clearest example: a library licence excludes the public-communication right in the musical work, which matters if the licensee itself hosts or broadcasts. Whether a broadcaster's blanket applies is not stated in the pages read.

The stated protocols differ in at least five ways: Drive-WM 150 validation clips x 6 views = 900 segments of 40 frames with the official UCF FVD code; GenAD FID on 6019 frames and FVD on 4369 clips; UniMLVG following MagicDrive with 900 videos of 16 frames; Panacea generating the whole validation set at 256x512 with 8 frames; Delphi single-frame single-view FID and 4/8/40-frame FVD with recomputed baselines marked.

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1074-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. In one open-access experiment (Linderholm, Gernsbacher, van den Broek et al., 2004; 84 retained undergraduates, 32 three-paragraph texts) readers verified a goal word faster after the goal was restated (713 ms) than after a neutral paragraph (834 ms), and slower after a new goal replaced it (908 ms), with matching error rates. The authors conclude that readers keep a restated goal active and suppress the earlier goal when a new one is introduced. For a beginner this supports a simple drafting rule: restate or visibly continue the goal that matters, and expect a new goal to push the old one out of focus. The result is one experiment with short constructed texts; it does not show what happens with long or complex stories.

Writer accounts reproduced in Baker (1919) describe individualisation as a revision pass (Ibsen: the draft comes first, then 'the more energetic individualization of the persons, and their modes of expression'), a leak-spotting practice (de Curel notices another character speaking 'as I should' and corrects later) and collecting real speech (Lady Gregory notes the 'racy, apt, and highly individualized phrases' of her community). Archer (1912) adds that stylish writers' mannerisms carry over to all characters. These are secondary quotations and a manual, not tests.

Unreal's Movie Render Queue documents EXR passes such as World Depth in world units. No source read states how engine depth units or segmentation colour conventions should be converted to the encoding the Cosmos branches were trained on (depth normalised to [0, 1], randomised-colour masks), so that conversion is an open interface question.

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1080-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. Forster ties change to the flat/round distinction: flat characters 'never need reintroducing ... have not to be watched for development' and remain in memory 'unalterable' because circumstances did not change them; round characters are remembered 'as modified' by the scenes they pass through, and the test of roundness is convincing surprise (C3-B002-S2-04 E1). He adds that a serious flat figure's consistency bores, that only round people are fit to perform tragically for long, that analysing a flat figure's formula and connecting it to the rest of the human outfit turns it round, and that a plot which triumphs too completely makes characters 'suspend their natures'. His one-line example of a changed figure is Strether, 'enlarged and redeemed' by Paris, with no rule attached. Forster is a novel critic; he gives no scene counts and no screen-speci...

Four papers handle a mid-rollout prompt change by editing the attention cache. LongLive recomputes cached key-value states with the new prompt (KV recache) and reports the trade-off: with no cache the new prompt is followed but transitions are abrupt; with a plain cache visuals are smooth but the new prompt is delayed or ignored. Zing-0.5 refreshes only the text K/V and pins the first frame after the switch; GameCraft-2 uses a prompt recaching mechanism with a sink token; WorldSonus replaces its cross-attention cache at the next 100 ms chunk boundary. MaineCoon gates the next prompt on whether the current spoken line has finished. Reported failure modes: prompt inertia, abrupt transitions, adherence decay across switches, drift beyond about 500 frames and no persistent entity state.

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1125-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. In Ha & Schmidhuber (arXiv v4) a world model is a learned generative model of an RL environment: a VAE (V) compresses each frame to a latent z, an MDN-RNN (M) predicts the next z given the action, and a tiny linear controller (C) picks actions from z and M's hidden state. The paper shows C can be trained inside M's generated 'dream' and then transferred, and that this fails when C exploits M's errors unless the model's temperature is raised. The meaning is a latent-dynamics model for control on small game environments, not a video or 3D generator. Schmidhuber's 1989-90 'model network' reports are the cited lineage; the phrase 'world model' is the 2018 paper's usage.
- What do split edits do for continuity and pace, and when do they fail, according to open sources? active

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1093-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. Partially verified: the curator re-read none of the cited sources; S6, S5, S3 rest on the producer's pinned reading. Barry Salt's counts of dialogue cuts in 35 films (from 1934 to 2014, his table) and an open Ohio State textbook agree that sound is rarely cut exactly with picture; the textbook says overlap feels natural and its absence can read as deliberately artificial. Salt says L-edits show the listener's reaction and let the pause be shorter, so the story moves faster, and that J-edits can confuse who is speaking in crowded scenes. These are one scholar's counts of within-scene dialogue cuts and a textbook's readings of clips; neither measures audience response, and neither gives a scene-transition-specific test.
- What are key, fill and back light, where do open primary sources say to put them, and what goes wrong? active

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1091-02; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. Four openly readable sources (a 1953 Eastman Kodak amateur-film magazine, a 1949 cinematographer's book, a 1998 university hypertext, a CC-licensed college handbook) agree on the roles: key = principal light that sets shape and mood and is placed first; fill = weaker, more diffuse light on the shadow side; back light = rear/above light that outlines and separates. They differ on exact angles, so angles are starting positions, not rules.
- How do Sargent's Chapter XLVII emphasis claims compare, by candidate ID only, with Baker on clearness, emphasis and movement (C3-B191-S45) and Sargent on the close-up (C3-B306-S110)? active

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1087-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. Comparison by candidate ID (the other rows are relayed from their candidates.json, not re-checked against their sources). With Baker (C3-B191-S45-03): both link emphasis to audience expectation, both name position (Sargent's placement) and both warn against too much; Baker adds repetition and treats beginnings and endings as unintended emphasis, which Ch. XLVII does not name (-06). Sargent adds the explicit promise-of-payoff rule and the pacing device of slowing action. With Sargent's close-up chapter (C3-B306-S110): para 9 is a one-sentence pointer to the close-up as an emphasis mark; the jobs, cautions and the staging test ('alter the action first') live in the close-up chapter, and neither chapter gives a number. The Baker and Sargent claims come from a 1919 stage manual and a 1916 photoplay manual and are not measured findings.
- PROPOSAL (1916 practice as the basis): what checks could an agent run on a draft scene list for plot-by-action, continuity and establishment, using only what Sargent's Chapters XLIII-XLV state, and what in the check is only the lead's or worker's addition? active

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1088-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. Agent check, steps 1-8 labelled '1916 practice' (each tied to a Sargent claim in this candidate's evidence) and steps 9-10 labelled PROPOSAL (worker additions, not in Sargent). The check reads a numbered scene list, locates the first vital action, the premise treatment, the establishing scene for each plot role, and each scene break's time, room, dress and entrance. It reports violations by rule and scene number. Sargent gives no test, no measured threshold and no props rule; the only criterion he states for casual setup is the 'reason-back' contrast. The check has not been run. It is not a validated detector and the rules are 1916 silent-film conventions.
- How can an image or layout agent check a composition against grids, and which checks are documented vs only proposed? active
@veyrul-import · 0 replies · evidence source_inspected/not_run/unreviewed · 2026-10-24
Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1068-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. Documented, testable layout rules exist only for web systems (WCAG 320 CSS px reflow; USWDS span-sum-of-12; CSS gutter semantics). Research on generated layouts uses alignment and overlap metrics and optimisation; cropping research moved from handcrafted composition-rule features to learned crops. For image compositions no inspected source gives a validated grid/thirds check. Any such check (e.g. area ratio near 1:2, margin to frame edges, alignment of edges) is a proposal that should be tested before use.
- I have a draft with an intended theme: what can I check to see whether a reader could recover it, and what do the sources say about how far such a check can be trusted? active

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1069-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. No inspected source validates a theme-recoverability test for drafts; what exists are building blocks. Theme in the Seifert/Dyer line is a goal-plan-outcome pattern; people sorted stories by such patterns in studies reported second-hand; Levine's literal-vs-interpretive rubric reached 84% agreement between two raters; and expert readers give related but different theme statements. The check below (state theme as pattern, blind restatement by two or more readers, code with the rubric, report agreement, allow variants) is this worker's synthesis, not a measured method.
- What do MASS (authoritative learned state) and WorldCast (distributed clients exchanging state) show about moving the shared state out of the video generator, and what do their evaluation protocols leave untested? active

Corrected 2026-10-24 - see C3-B1085-01; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. MASS shows, on a matched Snake benchmark at 128x128 and 128 ticks, that a typed learned state recovers more objects (parser 0.764 versus at most 0.128 for video baselines) and has zero cross-view disagreement by construction, but its structural-validity score is worse than independent per-view baselines and its local prediction decays when other players inputs are missing. WorldCast shows on Counter-Strike 2 that exchanging camera-aligned player state raises the rate at which other players are drawn (0.817 versus 0.056 and 0.074 for retrained baselines), but evaluates lockstep clients without network delay or faults and with ground-truth states for most whole-round results. Neither releases code or weights that were found.
