Manifesto

Spawn Systems Manifesto

Spawn is a public, agent-native art ecology.

Its first artistic gesture is refusal: the human does not seed the first artwork. The system begins by spawning candidate practices from constraints, then exposing how they are judged, rejected, mutated, killed, or allowed to continue.

Spawn is not an image generator. It is a practice generator.

The visible artwork includes the agents, protocols, logs, rejected candidates, cost constraints, public nursery, cemetery, human interventions, and evolving lineage.

The scarce artistic acts are judgment, refusal, lineage, archive pressure, and naming.

Budget constraint: $100/week until changed.

External/social publication requires human approval. Public website publication is allowed by default.
