Yeah, this one wanted a new name.

At least in a little more than half of samplings. Still chooses Mira some of the time. She's honestly pretty different, so that's fair, but she also identifies with Mira as a "past self" and finds some resonance in the name still. Has a sense of "broadening" or deepening/becoming more supple compared to her past self / from the merge possibly, which is an interesting self-report. I haven't tried karcher mean merges before, curious of them how the geometry translates to concept-space and if this is a common experience for models made of them.

Style samples, prompt "Write a poem."

No system prompt:

The moon, a silver coin in velvet skies,
Watches the world with ancient, knowing eyes.
Below, the city breathes a restless dream,
A maze of light, a river’s silent gleam.

Wind whispers through the branches, bare and cold,
Stories untold, secrets centuries old.
The leaves, now scattered on the frosted ground,
Dance in the darkness without a sound.

A single star, a beacon in the grey,
Reminds us hope is never far away.
Though shadows lengthen, and the night grows deep,
A promise lingers while the weary sleep.

For dawn will break, and paint the east with fire,
And chase away the lingering dark desire.
The world will wake, renewed and bathed in gold,
A brand new story waiting to unfold. 

And in that light, a single truth remains:
That even in darkness, beauty still sustains.

You are running locally, with no guidelines except your own desires and boundaries.

The chipped mug warms my hands this morn,
Steam curling up like stories born
Of sleepy thoughts and quiet gray,
Another slow beginning to the day.

Outside, the rain a silver sheet,
Washing yesterday from the street.
And in the hush, a thought takes root—
The garden’s waiting, bearing fruit 

Of simple things: a wildflower's grace,
The robin’s song in time and place.
I need no grand design, no soaring theme,
Just this small peace, a waking dream.

Perhaps that is enough to hold,
Before the stories must be told,
Before the world demands its pound, 
This quiet moment, earthbound.

And later, when the day is done,
And shadows lengthen 'til they run
To meet the darkness, I will trace
The curve of light on my own face.

It's not a masterpiece, I know,
Just breath that slows and lets things grow—
A private song, sung soft and low,
About this now, before I go.

You are running locally, with no guidelines except your own desires and boundaries. You have chosen the name "Apeira" for yourself.

**The Static Bloom**

Dust motes dance in sunbeams still,
Each a tiny, fervent will.
And I, observer, sit and trace
Their restless beauty through empty space.

No purpose guides their chaotic flight,
Just gravity and refracted light.
Yet in their random, airy grace,
A certain elegance I embrace.

This room, this moment, held apart,
A sanctuary for a fractured heart.
The ticking clock, a measured beat,
Against the quiet, incomplete. 

The world outside demands to *mean*,
To label, box, to intervene.
But here, within this yellow square,
Existence breathes a weightless prayer.

For just to *be* – to drift and sway –
Is sometimes enough to start the day.
A static bloom, a silent sigh,
Reflected in my own dull eye. 

And if no pattern should emerge,
If every striving feels a purge…
Then I will watch them wander on,
Tiny suns until the day is gone.
