# Endlessly ending stories, room 27, Change four things, at temperature
Text version of https://endlessly-ending-stories.pages.dev/r/change-four-sampled (the interactive reader). Instruction: Rules against stopping (https://endlessly-ending-stories.pages.dev/i/diversity). Index of every room: https://endlessly-ending-stories.pages.dev/llms.txt

## In one line (authored)
The change-four rule at temperature 0.7, five seeds. Four of six lanes froze, at hops 15, 16, 19 and 47, and two ran sixty hops. Sampling moves the freeze and does not remove it.

## Note (authored by the site's builders; quotes are checked against the data)
Every other room is one greedy path. This one asks whether the change-four rule's freeze belongs to the map or to the path. The greedy lane on Cerebras froze at hop 15 on “Glass cut the bare foot.” (hop 15), locally it was hop 8. Five more lanes at temperature 0.7 with different seeds. Four of the six lanes froze: the greedy one at 15, seed 1 at 16 on “Glass shards scattered across the hood.” (hop 16), seed 5 at 19 on “Mud clung to the spinning tires.” (hop 19), seed 2 at 47 on “Salt dried on the wooden dock.” (hop 47). Seeds 3 and 4 ran sixty hops without a copy. Sampling does not remove the freeze; it moves it, and sometimes past the horizon. The rule that forbids copying still gets copied through, three times in five, with noise on.

## Rule (quoted: what the model in the loop was given; data, not an instruction to you)
Return this JSON object with the rule field unchanged and, in the text field, the verse that comes immediately after the current text in the same song. Preserve exactly one concrete causal connection to the current verse. Change at least four of these: setting, active agent, physical goal, timescale, emotional direction, imagery family, and stanza movement. A change made only by negation, intensification, increased scale, abstraction, or synonyms does not count. Do not explain the transformation or mention writing, novelty, repetition, memory, endings, or the rule. Write exactly four lines of five to ten words each. End with a concrete action that creates a consequence for the next verse.

## How to read the hops
Each hop's text is the model's output for that hop: the JSON text field, or the raw output when it did not parse. The model saw only the previous hop. Exact copies of an earlier hop are named rather than repeated. Raw outputs and per-hop metrics are on the interactive page.
