Answers Jahni's standing wish directly: "in the best of both worlds, i'd like the system to not rely at all on the handmade ones." Three arms, same size, same measurement, same criteria: approach survival walkable mean feature-scale mean corpus blend (today) 13/16 81% 0.0661 92.3 naive uniform 7/16 44% 0.0126 64.6 constraint-sampled 7/16 44% 0.0129 31.4 ⭐ THE ANSWER IS NOT THE SURVIVAL RATE, IT IS THE QUALITY GAP. Constraint sampling produces VALID worlds -- it passes the primordial law more often than naive rolling (1 law failure vs 3) -- but the survivors are materially worse: ~5x lower walkable fraction and ~3x lower feature scale. A composer that emits technically-passing but uniformly mediocre places has not solved the problem. So the corpus carries something the declared constraints do not. §3.3 said independent rolling destroys the CORRELATIONS; stating those correlations explicitly recovers validity but not the tacit quality that authored vectors encode. That is worth knowing and it was not knowable by argument. ⇒ VERDICT: keep the corpus in production. Constraint sampling is a corpus-free BOOTSTRAP (it can seed a corpus from nothing), and PROMOTION (Tier 5) is the real route off handmade content -- dilution, not removal. Naive rolling is rejected outright. ⚠️ UNDER-POWERED, stated plainly: 16 candidates per arm, not the 256 the spec asked for -- the fixed 8M-cell box/law workload made 256x3 too slow to finish. The 5x walkable gap is large enough to be believable at n=16, but the survival rates (44% vs 44%) are not separable at that sample size. Do not quote these as precise. Authored-corpus audit, and Codex read it correctly: 3 of 12 vectors violate the proposed relations (DA_Strate3 room coverage 2.68 vs bound 0.35; Default_SurfaceWorld ground bound; Default_VerticalShafts shaft radius 5 vs roughness margin 5.875). That does NOT mean those assets are broken -- it means the new relations are conservative HYPOTHESES, not universal corpus invariants. Recorded as such. Box law held across all three arms: 768 proved, 673,486 voxels brute-forced, 0 violations. §6.2 did not reopen under corpus-free parameters. Also noted: "uniform within clamps" was underspecified in my spec -- many fields have no finite upper clamp. Both corpus-free arms use the same declared H-relative envelopes so the comparison stays honest. Build clean, CorpusFree green, WorldRadiusVoxels=0.
