entry 83 rejected · operator generation 0

create a liminal space in 3D as a massive indoor pool of water.

Revise: the object is too dark against the background so change the lightiing or some other way to make it legible — critique by profcarroll

entry 87 published generation 1

Revise: the same vast pool of water, and this time the rippling water causes deeper, more vivid shadows to play across the floor. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 129 published generation 2

Revise: the same study in dynamic light and liquid geometry, and this time the shadows are dramatically more vivid and intensely patterned across the floor. — critique by gemma4:e4b

entry 186 not published generation 3

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

generation 3 — 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).
