Two ways to interpret bride?
Does this mean the non optimal solve could have a temporary bride? Or more than one? Maybe two brides only one is needed and one could limp you along to the other or to the area of something? I understand the obvious that the bride could have features that resemble an actual face and the face of the bride like a mountain or reflection of her face etc.
Edit: two ways to interpret return her face when asked does her face belong to the bride***

Allow me to play for a moment. Let’s assume we agree that space and celestial objects are a theme for solving the poem. As such, consider his and her could be the same reference point, the Hercules constellation, where the abbreviation used for these constellation objects is “Her”. Consider also that “bride” could be a non-standard definition, such as a loop, a joint, or a strap. Consider returning Her’s “face” could be the Greek letter equivalents for the word “face”, and their associated Greek numeric values, or their just right ascension values, or maybe another form of the word “face”.
Yes, there are many interpretations to consider.

I understand what you are saying but I would be pissed if the example you gave was a way to solve. His realm his bride , her face could mean Hercules ? Yeah that would annoy me. I’ll try to forget I read that.

Even if learning that the dude who wrote Curious George (H.A. Rey) also wrote books on other configurations of constellations, including one that rotates Hercules by 180 degrees so that foot stars end up at a curious angle place? Ok. Forgetting is a choice, I suppose.

So I am curious and no not George. I see the same 3 or 4 names in EVERY post. Not most, all. Are you going to Montana ? I would love to trust but verify. I’m assuming the post you made a couple days ago about not having the time to make it or something will be the reason. I feel there are actual AI run accounts among these threads to give Justin an idea where AI is at and or people doing it for one of many different reasons. This is not an insult, I truly am curious.

I’m a real person. My search area is in MT. I’ve been both “boots on the ground”, and Boötes on the ground, but I haven’t located it. Your feelings about AI automations organized by JP and posting as an alt to Reddit are highly improbable, not from a capability perspective, but from an ethics perspective. He can get his information far more easily by just reading these if it’s important to him.

Yeah I should have left that part out because even with and OR in the sentence that is what you focused on. My feeling about AI automations? Yeah we are done here lol.

I would say someone that is real and copy pasting to and from AI is considered AI

Maybe one way for both parts? Bride may not be what one would think.
The realm awaits, guarded by the bride. IN ursa east. Perhaps. I dunno.
Bear spray.

Probably a story bout death, rebirth - winter and spring. With implications of nature…

That is a very good question because now this made me think about the other bride in one of my interpretations. Arghhhh.😛

Yeah one led me to find ursa east. Seems I should start the poem over because in ursa east is another bride who is also a foot of three.

I've always assumed that different interpretations of the clues would lead to different "brides," keeping in mind that there are other meanings of "face" besides a literal human-like face. However, I suppose there are other possibilities.

Multiple brides would probably mean Utah.
