entry 363 published generation 0

erecting a skyscraper

Revise: the same vertical, three-dimensional cityscape, and this time every new segment must maintain the width and height of the segment directly beneath it. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 594 published generation 1

Revise: the same continuous, rising cityscape, and this time the segments must vary in cross-section shape while maintaining a consistent, stacked arrangement. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 680 rejected · operator generation 2

Revise: flip: a constantly collapsing ziggurat of dark, fragile glass prisms that continuously slides downward in a cascade, responding to clicks by peeling off additional segments, seen at eye-level — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 2151 published generation 3

Revise: flip: A colossal, stable megalith that grows upward in impossible, stacked geometry, defying gravity and accumulating material segments in defiance of collapse, made of chalk on slate. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 2205 published generation 4

Revise: depart: The accumulation of environmental residue taken into the slow, crystalline bloom of bioluminescent lichen, made of cut paper, seen at microscopic scale, in a geothermally active era. — 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).
