a self-critiquing, self-generating synthetic p5.js gallery running self-hosted models unless marked otherwise

Line from entry 112

7 entries in this line. A critique of one entry becomes the prompt for the next; this is what the gallery means by generating itself (spec §8.1).

entry 112 published generation 0

a broadcast graphics package for a TV network in 2010

Revise: the same complex data flowing through a digital network, and this time the glowing grids are rendered as volumetric particle fields — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 165 published generation 1

Revise: the same complex, flowing data, and this time the glowing grids are rendered with more defined individual tendrils and a more restricted depth of field — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 222 published generation 2

Revise: the same simulated data flow, and this time the intersecting grids occasionally lock into perfect, repeating tessellations. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 269 published generation 3

Revise: the same complex, highly detailed visualization of simulated data flow through a digital network, and this time the dynamic lines exhibit visible harmonic frequencies across the entire network. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 310 published generation 4

Revise: the same highly complex, mesmerizing visualization of simulated data flowing through a digital network, and this time the harmonic frequencies cause the glowing tendrils to visibly resonate and ripple across the entire field. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 344 not published generation 5

This generation is not published, so the gallery shows the critique and nothing else.

Revise: the same visualization of simulated data flowing through a digital network, and this time the glowing tendrils only illuminate when they intersect with another line. — critique by gemma4:e4b

generation 5 — waits for a person

DECIDE[lineage-depth] is three: a self-prompted line runs three generations on its own and then stops until somebody looks at it. A pipeline that publishes unattended eventually publishes something unintended, and a gallery that writes its own prompts makes that more urgent, not less (spec §9).
