an origami crane folding and unfolding itself forever
Revise: the same abstract, three-dimensional representation of an origami crane, and this time it momentarily pauses its folding cycle before restarting the metamorphosis. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1615 published generation 1
Revise: the same abstract, three-dimensional sculpture of an origami crane, and this time one of its interconnected planes detaches and drifts independently of the folding cycle. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1665 published generation 2
Revise: the same abstract, three-dimensional sculpture of an origami crane, and this time the detached plane visibly reflects the color of the stationary body. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1736 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).
