The repo outgrew a single-project layout: the reusable form-language
template and the draft paper about the method were mixed in with
Ecuador-specific ref/narratives/docs, and a second real project (Harbor
House) had been growing inside templates/examples/ despite no longer
being just a template demo. Split into:
- method/ - the generalized form-language prompt template and the
paper about the method, project-agnostic
- projects/ecuador-museum/ - the original counter-proposal (ref/,
narratives/, docs/, unchanged in content)
- projects/harbor-house/ - promoted out of templates/examples/, now a
peer project with its own ref/narratives/docs, including previously
untracked pattern subset, narrative, and illustration material
Root CLAUDE.md now covers the shared method and repo-wide conventions;
each project gets its own CLAUDE.md with project-specific brief,
inputs, and status. Updated all internal path references (paper.md,
outline.md, per-project CLAUDE.md, settings.local.json). Dropped stray
scratch files superseded by proper copies (all.txt, the already-
converted pattern-language PDF).

New section 4.5 quotes the corner-arrival, entrance-threshold, and
Patio-of-Origins passages from both tracks side by side (they turn out
to be near-verbatim identical, sharpening the shared-root-narrative
finding from the previous revision), each paired with one image from
each track. Track B images are added as compressed, paper-specific
copies at paper/images/ (originals in docs/images-salingaros/ are full
resolution PNGs); Track A images are referenced directly from
docs/images/.
One Track B image is used as-is despite showing hallucinated wall
signage ("Museo America Andina" instead of "Museo Nacional del
Ecuador") - kept deliberately as honest, concrete evidence for the
symposium's hallucination critique in section 5, rather than cropped
out.

Author fact-checks on paper/paper.md:
- Site area simplified to ~13,000 m2 throughout (drop pseudo-precise
13,004.65 m2, even though it's genuinely in the official brief).
- Corrected a significant factual error: the two tracks are not fully
independent - Track A's visitor narrative and half of Track B's merge
input both descend from Salingaros' shared root narrative. Section 4
rewritten around "divergent elaborations of a shared root", with the
convergence claim re-evidenced from the material that actually is
independent (3 of 4 Track A narratives, Track B's second merge input,
both image-generation stages).
- Attributed Salingaros' image critique-loop account as self-reported,
not independently verified, with image-numbering gaps noted only as
circumstantial support.
- Added the authors' working hypothesis for the image-register gap:
partly a deliberate medium request (watercolour vs unconstrained),
partly that Track B's prompts carried the full pattern+form-language
text inline per image vs Track A's short distilled per-scene prompts -
clearly hedged as unverified.
- Fixed an overclaim that symposium participants judged both image sets;
they only saw Track B's.
- De-emphasized the plan-layout idea throughout (title, abstract, intro,
section 7, conclusion) to read as one possible future direction in
prose, not work in progress.

Full draft at paper/paper.md following the agreed outline: abstract,
background on the Museo Nacional competition, the form-language method
extension and its templating/validation, the two-track worked example
(Postle narrative/Midjourney vs Salingaros narrative/ChatGPT), July 23
symposium reception (including the "flavors, not solutions" critique),
drawbacks, and the proposed plan-layout future work. Reception quotes
checked against the transcript; content adapted from Salingaros' partial
process-report article where applicable. Not yet submission-ready --
needs author review and a formal reference list.
