VOICE_V6 repeated-phrase smoothing acceptance

Status: Accepted for VOICE_V6.

VOICE_V6 keeps the VOICE_V5 word-attack smoothing and reduces regular tremolo-like pulsing in repeated high-arousal phrases.

Scope

  • dootdoot --version reports dootdoot VOICE_V6.
  • The embedded semantic mapping remains the locked token-to-axis table in assets/dootdoot_asset_v1.doot.
  • Word bridges render as low, flatter connectors rather than foreground pulses.
  • Word-connected syllables keep smoother pitch inheritance over a longer opening.
  • Word-connected complexity, internal pitch, archetype pitch, and texture motion are damped so repeated words do not fully re-articulate every local gesture.
  • The committed golden WAV hashes were regenerated under VOICE_V6.

Directional Check

Fixture phrase: I am so excited I am so excited I am so excited I am so excited.

The check measures bridge RMS relative to the preceding syllable and compares low-rate envelope energy at the word-cycle rate against energy at twice that rate. Lower double/word values mean the phrase is not dominated by the tremolo-like two-pulse word cycle heard in VOICE_V5.

This is a directional listening aid. The sample-level contract remains the golden WAV hash fixture.
