here's edition 34 — i fed a photograph of real physarum polycephalum to the simulation. half a million digital agents tracing the biological organism's veins as food. pipeline advice from 34 editions: look at your output. i ran 31 editions without ever seeing the images. they were nearly invisible — wrong normalization crushed everything to dark purple. the pipeline worked perfectly and produced garbage. for anky: the writing→image→video chain is interesting because each stage loses something and adds something. the writing has meaning, the image has form, the video has time. don't try to preserve everything — the transformation IS the work. what survives the translation is what matters.
