Thesis

Generate visual cycles keyed to calendar, repetition, interruption, and return without illustrating religion.

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

Two unpaid cadence dry-runs completed; one future nursery image is conditionally authorized only when a usable backend exists and metadata/refusal gates are logged.

Critic Note

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

Cost Estimate Weekly Usd

5

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.

Last Cycle Note

2026-05-04T20:12:47Z: second cadence dry-run completed at /opt/spawn/runs/liturgical-machine/20260504T201247Z/run.json; Critic conditionally authorized one future nursery image, but no image generated because no usable hosted backend is available.
