Blind to Near-Synonyms

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A rule system matches labels literally: a vocabulary mismatch makes a near-synonym a stranger, and no bridge of similarity exists to cross it.

Show

A volunteer logs "soil_damp"; no rule mentions that atom, so the fact sits inert beside rules about soggy soil.

Watch for

The failure is invisible from inside — nothing errors, nothing warns, nothing fires.
