# Say Narration (macOS TTS)

Use macOS text-to-speech for agent announcements and narration.

## MANDATORY: NextColor Per Interaction

**EVERY interaction MUST use NextColor with the voice name as the seed.**

```clojure
;; Before EVERY voice announcement, compute NextColor
(def color (next-color (seed-from-string "Ava (Premium)")))
;; color determines the trit assignment: MINUS(-1), ERGODIC(0), PLUS(+1)
```

The voice name string IS the seed for deterministic color assignment. This ensures GF(3) conservation across all voice interactions.

## Quality Requirements

**ONLY use Enhanced or Premium quality voices. NEVER use:**
- Base/standard quality voices (no suffix)
- British man voice (Daniel)
- Any novelty voices (Albert, Bad News, Bells, Boing, etc.)

### Install Missing Voices

Open System Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > System Voice > Manage Voices

Priority installs for GF(3) triadic coverage:
1. **Anna (Premium)** - German - MINUS validator voice
2. **Amélie (Premium)** - French - ERGODIC coordinator voice  
3. **Yuna (Premium)** - Korean - PLUS generator voice

## Usage Pattern (MANDATORY)

```bash
# Step 1: Compute NextColor with voice name as seed
# (conceptually - the color determines agent role)

# Step 2: Announce with high-quality voice
say -v "Ava (Premium)" "Agent Oracle reporting status"
say -v "Allison (Enhanced)" "Technical analysis complete"
say -v "Nathan (Enhanced)" "Macro calculations finished"
```

## Agent Voice Assignments (Updated)

| Agent | Voice | Trit Role |
|-------|-------|-----------|
| Agent-Nash-Oracle | Ava (Premium) | NextColor("Ava (Premium)") |
| Agent-Technical-Vulture | Nathan (Enhanced) | NextColor("Nathan (Enhanced)") |
| Agent-Macro-Basalt | Allison (Enhanced) | NextColor("Allison (Enhanced)") |
| Agent-Exa-Stalker | Alice (Enhanced) | NextColor("Alice (Enhanced)") |
| Agent-Contrarian-Phoenix | Evan (Enhanced) | NextColor("Evan (Enhanced)") |
| Agent-Temporal-Specter | Samantha (Enhanced) | NextColor("Samantha (Enhanced)") |
| Agent-Theta-Harvester | Emma (Enhanced) | NextColor("Emma (Enhanced)") |
| Agent-Narrative-Proteus | Noelle (Enhanced) | NextColor("Noelle (Enhanced)") |

## List Available High-Quality Voices

```bash
say -v '?' | grep -E "(Enhanced|Premium)"
```

## GF(3) Conservation

Each voice interaction contributes to the triadic balance:
- Seed = voice name string
- Color = NextColor(seed) → {-1, 0, +1}
- Sum across session must satisfy Σ trits ≡ 0 (mod 3)

## Tips

- Italian Enhanced voices speaking English creates distinctive character
- Use Premium voices for primary agents (best quality)
- Never use Daniel or any British male voices
- Never use novelty/effect voices



## Scientific Skill Interleaving

This skill connects to the K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills ecosystem:

### Graph Theory
- **networkx** [○] via bicomodule
  - Universal graph hub

### Bibliography References

- `general`: 734 citations in bib.duckdb

## Cat# Integration

This skill maps to **Cat# = Comod(P)** as a bicomodule in the equipment structure:

```
Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof
Poly Op: ⊗
Kan Role: Adj
Color: #26D826
```

### GF(3) Naturality

The skill participates in triads satisfying:
```
(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)
```

This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
