# Earth-name blocklist (#833, D-191 §4). Retained as curated reference data # after the Gemma naming pipeline was retired (#951, D-223) — see # docs/gemma-naming-methodology.md. # # Per memory feedback_earth_echo_names: Earth-sounding names are OK and # expected — the setting is a blended reality. This file is a small, # curated list of Earth *majors* whose raw names should not appear as # settled-reach feature names because they are too on-the-nose. Prefixed # variants like "Nouveau Paris", "Neu Berlin", or "New Tokyo" are allowed # (they pass because the exact-match check does not strip prefixes). # # Match rule: case-insensitive whole-name equality between a generated # feature name and any entry below. One entry per line, `#` comments are # allowed, blank lines ignored. # # Expand this list if the generator starts producing raw-Earth-major # names in frequent runs. Err on the side of short — we do NOT want to # block every vaguely Earthy token. # Capitals & megacities Paris London Tokyo Beijing Moscow Berlin Madrid Rome Cairo Mumbai Delhi Jakarta Seoul Bangkok Istanbul Lagos Nairobi Johannesburg Sydney Washington Ottawa Mexico City Rio de Janeiro Rio Buenos Aires Lima Bogota Dhaka Karachi Lahore Tehran Baghdad Riyadh Manila Hanoi Kuala Lumpur Singapore Vienna Prague Warsaw Amsterdam # GJ0d (Earth body) is exempt — this blocklist applies to alien worlds only, not to Earth itself.
