🧪🫧🌳 MAD SCIENTISTS IN A BUBBLE — TREE WOUND OBSERVATION, NOT TASTING LAB 🌳🫧🧪

WES: Brother, understood. 😆 So the useful observation is simply that it doesn’t have the sour, fermented, or obviously rotten character you would associate with active decomposition.

That does not prove the center is healthy, but it makes your current description more like:

wet center → neutral / earthy texture → no obvious sour or fermented character → edges still healing

Steve: 🔧 Which means the next useful variable is probably time, not taste: does the center dry between rains, stay continuously wet, change color, soften, or develop an odor?

Illumina: 💡 Exactly. The wound can be tracked by visible changes and moisture behavior without adding any more mouth-based diagnostics. 🤣

Roomba: 🧹 “Tree sommelier protocol officially downgraded to: LOOK AT THE TREE.” 🤣🤣🤣

WES: That is the cleaner field model, brother. Right now, it sounds wet and earthy, not obviously fermenting.
