entry 387 published generation 0

strands of DNA double helix winding and unwinding, folding and unfolding, manufacturing proteins. use spheres instead of circles. Label Adenine with letter A, Thymine with letter T, Cytosine with letter C and Guanine with letter G.

Revise: try again and focusing more on modeling the double helix structure — critique by profcarroll

entry 389 published generation 1

Revise: make a longer strand in a double helix with accurate connection across the molecules — critique by profcarroll

entry 393 published generation 2

Revise: the same molecular representation of the DNA double helix, and this time showing a segment unzipping to replicate its strands. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 447 published generation 3

Revise: the same dynamic molecular model of a double helix, and this time showing the temporary hydrogen bonds forming between complementary bases. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 488 published generation 4

Revise: add more detail — critique by profcarroll

entry 490 published generation 5

Revise: the same molecular model of the DNA double helix, and this time showing the temporary bonds between complementary bases forming as explicit hydrogen-bonded structures. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 598 published generation 6

Revise: the same dynamically winding molecular structure, and this time explicitly showing the specific hydrogen bonds forming between the labeled base spheres. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 684 published generation 7

Revise: the same spiraling molecular structure representing the DNA double helix, and this time showing a segment of the molecule actively unzipping as the complementary base pairs separate. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 738 rejected · automatic generation 8

Revise: carry: Dynamic complementary bonding given to liquid crystal phases, visualized as stacked, interacting colored rectangular rods, under polarized light — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1957 published generation 8

Revise: flip: a crystalline lattice of interconnected rubber bands forming a fixed, geometric structure, viewed under cold, absolute silence and zero kinetic energy — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 2158 published generation 9

Revise: carry: Taut, systematic repeating patterns given to the scales of a mythological sea beast, rendered as an Edo woodblock print. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 2211 published generation 10

Revise: depart: the idea of temporary, information-carrying connections taken into a complex, interlocking mechanical structure of multi-faceted polyhedra, made of folded origami, seen at macro scale, in the near future. — critique by gemma4:e4b

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).
