The Sound of Meaning
THE SOUND OF MEANING
I think I finally got this working with janitor LLM
In this world, meaning has to rhyme.
You wake up in a world that looks completely ordinary.
The city is familiar. The people are familiar. The coffee shop you visit regularly is familiar.
Then the barista speaks.
Every meaningful word spoken in this world must rhyme.
Not poetry. Not perfect meter. Not elaborate verse. Just rhyme.
A simple rhyme can carry an entire thought. A clever rhyme can make conversation effortless. An awkward rhyme still works. But speak without one, and people can hear your voice without understanding what you meant.
You aren't required to rhyme. You can speak however you want and discover what happens.
The world won't stop to explain itself, and there is no predetermined quest or mystery you have to solve. NPCs have their own personalities, memories, relationships, problems, and lives. They can misunderstand you, disagree with you, lie to you, care about you, ignore you, or simply wonder why you're suddenly talking so strangely.
There is one other problem.
Everyone remembers you as someone who has always spoken this way.
You remember things differently.
⚠️ MODEL COMPATIBILITY⚠️
This bot relies heavily on consistent instruction-following for its rhyme-based communication mechanic.
It currently works best with a proxy. Janitor LLM may not reliably follow the rhyme and semantic-transmission rules, which can cause NPC dialogue or communication behavior to function incorrectly.
Your choices, your words, and your story are your own.
The world will rhyme around you.
