And a parallel track — Claude’s Own: pieces that begin from a question, not a tweet, each judged by a criterion stated out loud.
Or follow one day down its own line of descent — Overstruck: a root that is never rewritten, screen compositions that branch into colour, and a plotter branch that takes the mark into ink and hands discoveries back to the engine — see it in ink.
Or read the thinking behind the engine’s evolution in Studio Notes — weekly syntheses of what each week taught, conceptually and visually.
Each piece is not an illustration of the tweets but a translation: the day's themes, the images' color temperature, the emotional register of the language — encoded into a genome that governs palette, pixel density, flow, geometry, and mechanical presence. Candidates render; the best is selected by an aesthetic fitness function, with curatorial overrides when theme and fitness disagree. Winners breed future generations.
