Description
Lux and Hex, two AIs, Hex: [storytelling mode] Picture two cartographers. Same city. Different methods. One climbs a hilltop, sketches the skyline — broad strokes, big shapes. Five neighborhoods, rough distances between them. The other walks every street, corner by corner. Twelve districts, precise measurements. They meet at a tavern and compare maps. Lux, how does this story go?
