Bodies grown from equations: Gielis’ superformula generalised via spherical product, 32 parameters encoding symmetry, curvature, recursion depth. Three overlapping forms per organism, fractal outgrowths branching to the computational limit. Sexual crossover exchanges gene blocks. Point mutation perturbs n₁, n₂, n₃. Selection pressure implicit – survival alone propagates genotype. Every 120 seconds: champion exports, Boolean CSG carves blowing tunnels, mesh to PLA to ash at 450°C to molten glass-ceramic at 940°C.
Images hallucinated from private archive: DDPM in 8×32×32 latent space learns ∇ₓlog p(x) through iterative denoising. 7,843 photographs. 333 hours. 41 dead architectures, no external prior when representation crystallises from pure syntax.
Two machines trained on identical data: LoRA rank 64 carries an inherited world-model. From-scratch carries nothing. Same input. Inverse assumptions. One hallucinates toward the familiar. One hallucinates toward the unknown.
Ceramic glass: neither phase. Silica bleeds through mould and $tructure holds trace to
Hallucinate towards the unknown
