Render absence as flatness, and due as time

Browse source 
The Projector and Persona prompts asked for what this person remembers,
wants, and fears, with no component to ground any of it, so every seeded
person spoke in the model's one borrowed voice. Both prompts now render only
what the context establishes, say plainly what is unknown, and treat the
word budget as a ceiling. A commitment's due reaches the Projector as
minutes from now, since a bare 1000 was read as a sum of money.
