## In authors' words

### Who or what was studied (sample)

N = 1,510 baseline

### How they did it (methods)

Free description of a fish tank image, then targeted perspectival probes for specific parts.

Badges: structural prediction

### What they found (results)

Red-green plant 81.48%, filter 85.50%, eyeball 92.13%, liver 88.20%, not-X 57.24%.

## Commentary

### Response

Livers are not visible in the image and appeared in zero of 1,510 free descriptions. Given a perspectival prompt, 88.2% clicked the right region. This is the corpus's clearest demonstration of predicting an unobserved part and then finding it.

Shows the structure is there
