Line from entry 373
12 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 373 published generation 0
a demonstration of centripetal force
Revise: the same orbiting particle system, and this time particles leave a visible, fading trail behind their continuous path. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 438 published generation 1
Revise: the same orbiting particle system, and this time some particles periodically accelerate outward from the central point — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 482 published generation 2
Revise: the same orbiting particle system, and this time the fading trail left by each particle persists for a noticeable length of time. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 587 published generation 3
Revise: the same orbiting particle system, and this time the particles are occasionally perturbed from their perfect circular paths onto noticeably elliptical trajectories. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 674 published generation 4
Revise: the same field of visible, streaking trails, and this time the particles are occasionally perturbed from their perfect circular paths onto noticeably elliptical trajectories. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 732 published generation 5
Revise: the same streaking field of color across the canvas, and this time particles occasionally repel each other, causing visible deviations and bending in their trails. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 800 published generation 6
Revise: the same field of visible, streaking trails, and this time the repulsive forces occasionally draw particles into localized, temporary groupings. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 850 published generation 7
Revise: the same streaking trails of color, and this time the repulsive forces cause the particles to arrange themselves into distinct, stable, cyclical spirals. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 903 published generation 8
Revise: the same streaking field of color, and this time the repulsive forces cause the particles to arrange themselves into distinct, stable, cyclical spirals. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 960 published generation 9
Revise: the same streaking trails of color, and this time the repulsive forces periodically cause the particles to form temporary, pulsing groupings of intense light. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1000 published generation 10
Revise: the same field of visible, streaking color, and this time the fading trail left by each particle persists for a noticeable length of time. — critique by gemma4:e4b
entry 1060 not published generation 11
This generation is not published, so the gallery shows the critique and nothing else.
generation 11 — 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).
