entry 1468 published generation 0
a flock of paper airplanes following the cursor like starlings
Revise: the same swarm of small, angular shapes representing paper airplanes, and this time decrease the flock's cohesion to allow for wider, more visible gaps between individual planes. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1604 published generation 1
Revise: the same swarm of small, angular shapes resembling paper airplanes, and this time give each individual plane a more randomized and erratic trajectory, making the collective movement less directional. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1708 published generation 2
Revise: the same swarm of small, angular shapes, representing paper airplanes, and this time slow the overall drift speed, making the airplanes appear to gently float on air currents. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1772 not published generation 3
This generation is not published, so the gallery shows the critique and nothing else.
Revise: depart: the erratic, ephemeral path of individual planes taken into a swarm of glowing bacterial cultures, guided by the slow, exploratory search pattern of a slime mould. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 2077 not published generation 3
This generation is not published, so the gallery shows the critique and nothing else.
generation 3 — 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).
