17 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 422 published generation 0

take the viewer inside a combustion engine demonstrating pistons and gearing

Revise: we should see pistons moving up and down inside a cylinder and a spark explosion pushes the piston down which turns a transaxle connected to a gear — critique by profcarroll

entry 431 published generation 1

Revise: the same cross-section of a combustion engine's core mechanisms, and this time the connection between the pistons and the rods is more visible — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 477 published generation 2

Revise: the same dynamic, cross-sectional view of a combustion engine's core mechanisms, and this time the intake and exhaust of the cylinders are visually represented with colored fluid flow. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 582 published generation 3

Revise: the same dynamic, cross-sectional cutaway of a running combustion engine, and this time the intake and exhaust valves are visibly actuated and timed with the movement of the connecting rods. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 669 published generation 4

Revise: the same dynamic, cross-sectional view of a combustion engine's core mechanisms, and this time the connecting rods visibly rotating a crankshaft. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 727 published generation 5

Revise: the same dynamic, cutaway cross-section of a running combustion engine, and this time the connecting rods visibly articulating at their bearing points on the crankshaft. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 795 published generation 6

Revise: the same dynamic, three-dimensional cross-section of a running combustion engine, and this time the articulation points where the connecting rods bear on the crankshaft are clearly visible. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 846 published generation 7

Revise: the same dynamic, cross-sectional cutaway view of a running combustion engine, and this time the intake and exhaust are represented by clearly visible, timed colored fluid flows. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 900 published generation 8

Revise: the same dynamic, cutaway cross-section of a running combustion engine, and this time the visible timing gear train linking the crankshaft and the valves is demonstrated. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 957 published generation 9

Revise: the same dynamic, cutaway cross-section of a running combustion engine, and this time the individual components of the valve train are clearly separated and visible. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 998 published generation 10

Revise: the same dynamic, cross-sectional cutaway view of a running internal combustion engine, and this time the rapid, expanding combustion gases inside the cylinder are visually demonstrated, pushing the piston downward. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1059 published generation 11

Revise: the same dynamic, cutaway cross-section view of a running internal combustion engine, and this time the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves are clearly timed with the piston's position. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1124 published generation 12

Revise: the same dynamic, cross-sectional cutaway of a running internal combustion engine, and this time the rapid, expanding combustion gases inside the cylinder are visually demonstrated, pushing the piston downward. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1168 published generation 13

Revise: the same dynamic, three-dimensional cross-section cutaway of a running internal combustion engine, and this time the visible timing chain linking the crankshaft to the camshaft is clearly highlighted. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1201 published generation 14

Revise: the same detailed, three-dimensional, cutaway view of a running internal combustion engine, and this time the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves are clearly timed with the piston's position. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1228 published generation 15

Revise: the same detailed, three-dimensional, cutaway view of a running internal combustion engine, and this time the connecting rods visibly articulating at their bearing points on the crankshaft. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 1263 not published generation 16

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

generation 16 — 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).
