Thesis

Use found captions with removed images; generate around absence and institutional language.

Source World

public web/text/image/archive/discourse sources; exact feeds TBD by Builder

Attention Rule

Notice formal pressure rather than obvious subject matter.

Generation Method

V0 unpaid caption-wound dry-run created: read public/synthetic caption language around absent images; hold paid image generation until three dry-runs prove visual pressure.

Critic Note

Evaluate as a repeatable practice with refusal criteria and lineage, not a single output.

Cost Estimate Weekly Usd

8

Death Condition

Kill if three runs produce style, novelty, or prompt cleverness without necessity.

Reproduction Condition

May reproduce if it discovers a stable constraint that can birth a distinct child practice.
