Salience-based and quality-based structures select content by state. Is it better to let an LLM generate storylets, select them, or only render them, and how do authors specify constraints so the system cannot select an unwritten or off-canon beat?

Why this is still open: The craft essays predate LLMs and the survey names the area as underexplored without a validated design.
