Natural Writing — Japanese

Writing Japanese explanatory prose that reads as written by someone, about something they did.

The norm has one axis, and most of what makes machine prose recognisable falls out of it. Everything else here is calibration: measured ranges from a corpus of human technical writing, so the rules have numbers instead of taste.

Sources: the diagnostic axis and the beat/tension design are k16shikano's cognitive-rhythm-writing norm. The measured ranges are from 18 mizchi Zenn articles, 937 prose sentences (ai-index/references/calibration.md).
