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.
;; 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.)

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
