22 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 4 published generation 0

concentric circles in fluorescent colors pulse with elastic easing

Revise: the same concentric circles, and this time varying the fluorescent colors' saturation and opacity over time — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 5 published generation 1

Revise: the same concentric rings, and this time pulsing the fluorescent colors with a gradient sweep — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 6 published generation 2

Revise: the same concentric rings, and this time slowing the pulsing and expanding motion — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 7 published generation 3

Revise: the same concentric rings, and this time limiting the color variation to a specific temperature range — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 8 rejected · operator generation 4

Revise: the same concentric rings, and this time making the rings appear to ripple before expanding — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 491 published generation 4

Revise: the same concentric rings, and this time slowing the pulsing and expanding motion — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 599 published generation 5

entry 685 published generation 6

Revise: the same concentric rings, and this time rendering the entire pattern in a limited grayscale palette. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 739 published generation 7

Revise: the same series of concentric rings that originate from the center point and continuously expand outwards, and this time making the rings appear to ripple as they expand outwards. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 804 published generation 8

Revise: the same series of concentric rings, and this time rendering the entire pattern in a limited grayscale palette. — critique by gemma4:e4b

Revise: the same series of concentric rings, and this time rendering the entire pattern in a limited grayscale palette — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 906 published generation 10

Revise: the same concentric rings, and this time expanding at a noticeably slower rate. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 963 published generation 11

Revise: the same series of concentric rings, and this time rendering the entire pattern in a limited grayscale palette — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1002 published generation 12

Revise: the same series of concentric rings, and this time varying the speed of the outward expansion over time. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1062 published generation 13

Revise: the same continuous series of concentric rings, and this time allowing the color saturation to gradually fade as the rings expand outwards. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1126 published generation 14

Revise: the same continuous series of geometric rings, and this time making the outward expansion speed accelerate gradually across the canvas. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1170 published generation 15

Revise: the same continuous series of geometric rings, and this time having the wave-like motion appear more erratic and irregular. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1203 published generation 16

Revise: the same series of concentric rings, and this time giving them a wavy, irregular appearance as they expand outwards. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1233 published generation 17

Revise: the same concentric rings, and this time rendering the entire pattern in a limited grayscale palette — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1266 not published generation 18

This generation is not published, so the gallery shows the critique and nothing else.

Revise: carry: repeating pulsations given to fractal mineral crystallization, rust on sheet steel. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1998 published generation 18

Revise: depart: the sequence of vibrant, shifting concentric bands taken into the branching venation structure of a massive tropical leaf, seen in macro photography — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 2185 published generation 19

generation 19 — 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).
