The recent classical-text transcriptions use Sol 6.1 and Opus 5.5 as separate readers of the same scan. Neither gets the stored transcription or the other reader’s answer. Web lookup is excluded. Readings are saved before comparison.
Concept illustration: separate archival reading booths labelled Sol 6.1 and Opus 5.5, divided by an opaque wall, with matching abstract source pages and different reading notes compared outside the booths.

The Yilin work exposed a subtle leak: a verse ID can reveal the heading the reader is supposed to recover. The recent exact-model run is on Zhouyi Zhushu, another reference text, rather than a new complete Yilin transcription.

The separation preserves disagreements for inspection. Two models can share prior knowledge and make the same mistake. Both see one manuscript witness. Agreement is useful evidence; uncertain characters still need to remain visible.

Replying to @sixlinesapp
@sixlinesapp, an I-Ching app, has another version to track alongside its code: the text behind each explanation. The Yilin chain now records the reference release, shared content revision and the version each app checkout adopts.
Typeset comparison: old reading 瘖, mute, changes to 瘠, gaunt. The short translation uses gaunt and deaf while the longer explanation still says mute and deaf and needs review. The original manuscript crop follows in image 2.

Translation, image prompt and image carry separate records of their inputs. Correcting a translation must not silently mark the prompt or image as reviewed. Original baselines stay; reviewed amendments record what changed and why.

Those pins help reproduce the content and locate what needs review. Meaning still needs a source check. A translation can faithfully track the same Chinese for years and keep interpreting it incorrectly.

An agent skill in the @sixlinesapp workflow started with a translation error. In Jiaoshi Yilin 62-30, 祈父 names a military office. The old gloss read it as “his father”, and the image prompt inherited the mistake.
Actual scan crop of 祈父 from Jiaoshi Yilin 62-30, fascicle 4, PDF page 190. The old gloss read his father; the corrected reading identifies a military office. Repair order: source, translation, prompt review, image generation.

The Chinese had not changed. A check asking whether the translation was up to date could miss an interpretation that was wrong from the start. The prompt staged a confrontation with an elder; the correction made him a commander.

The repair became gloss-drift-audit: Check the term against a source. Correct the translation. Review the affected prompt. Generate the image after review. It preserves failed search methods too, so the next agent can learn from them.

A correction in the Jiaoshi Yilin, a book of verses behind @sixlinesapp, an I-Ching app: 崇 became 祟. The first can mean “revere”; the second, a bane or malign influence. The image shows actual scan crops, including a comparison character from the same page.

The target has 出 above 示. The same-page 崇 has an extra 宀 layer. A confirmed 祟 from the same fascicle supplied another comparison. These are named, locatable examples of the copyist’s handwriting.

Some numerical measurements did not reliably separate the candidates. The review records those failed checks too. Keeping the crops and comparison locations lets another reader challenge the decision.

Crap... "Where does the Chinese connection and the code idea come from? I needed to find him an occupation that was very immersive and constant, something that takes many years to do. So I thought maybe he is translating the I Ching book, which is ancient and difficult, with many layers and possible lines of interpretation. He is completely immersed in this world, and ironically he cannot see where he actually is in his real family life. He is always translating, reading everything through codes. Even in the end, when his wife says something very warm about remembering and sharing memories of the children, he answers by citing this book. The I Ching is also very visual. It has the hexagrams, which are almost like a computer code – 64 combinations of 0 and 1. They can easily be translated into something else, like those black-and-white dice appearing in the film. And dice means game, the game of life." Kristijonas Vildžiūnas • Director of Dice-Ching-O-Mat cineuropa.org/en/interview/4… via @cineuropa

A Chinese character behind @sixlinesapp, an I-Ching app, was read as “mute”. The manuscript supports “gaunt”. The short translation changed. The longer explanation kept the old meaning. This is Jiaoshi Yilin verse 1-1.
Actual scan crop of 瘠, gaunt, from Jiaoshi Yilin 1-1. Modern labels distinguish the older reading 瘖, mute. The short translation says gaunt and deaf while the longer local explanation says mute and deaf. Fascicle 1, PDF page 15.

An earlier check saw only two changed characters out of twenty-four and skipped the row. But “stone” had become “many”, and “mute” had become “gaunt”. A small edit count concealed two changes in meaning.

The mismatch was still in the local content checked for this post: short translation, “gaunt and deaf”; longer explanation, “mute and deaf”. Updating the source needs a review of what was built from it.

Neon Memoir is live on the Solana dApp Store. It's my entry for the Solana Mobile "Clock In" hackathon on Radiants, and it's also submitted to the Colosseum World's Fair. Some things I learned shipping it: the dApp Store isn't on Google Play and has no web version, and the one-tap install is Seeker-only. On any other Android phone you can sideload it, and the steps are here: github.com/augchan42/neonmem…
