Screen recording of the program in operation
In this report, we analyze from the program's database
the words
and
relational etymologycal & meaning systems
used in the training, taken from
Deleuze&Guattari‘s
“A Thousand Plateaus”, from the chapter on Faciality.

Generated examples
A digital wall separates private data from public APIs. Philosophers discuss the wall between signifier and signified. Attention skims the communicative surface. The VR headset renders a high-resolution surface geometry. Cloud storage volume scales elastically. Sculptors carve negative volume from marble. Archives possess textual cavities—erasures in the record. Dental imagery isolates enamel cavities. Analysts discovered a crucial security hole. Narrative logic becomes holey when episodes are missing. The data-center hall felt cavernous and cold. Sound echoes inside the cavernous basilica. Plato’s cave allegory guides media theory. Tourists explored an ice cave beneath the glacier. Complexity adds a qualitative dimension. The room’s acoustic dimensions alter perception. Probability occupies a dimensionless phase space. Certain constants remain effectively dimensionless in natural units. Machine-learning models emulate a compound eye. Curators direct the viewer’s eyes along a visual path. The director inserts a sudden close-up of trembling hands. An ethnographic close-up reveals micro-politics. Soft light reduces facial shadows on video calls. Theory throws light on neglected voices. Glass towers reflect distorted cityscapes. Paragraphs reflect earlier motifs. Inequality became visible in geospatial heat maps. Only errors above the threshold are visible. The Necker cube is an ambiguous percept. Marketing engineers a positive percept at first glance. An algorithmic black box resists audit. Black typography on cream paper reduces glare. A white canvas signals
tabula rasa.
White noise masks intrusive sounds. A dark theme conserves OLED power. Historians excavate dark archives of empire. The crystalline screen enabled holographic depth. Prose turns crystalline, sharp enough to cut. Black-box theatre foregrounds actors, not scenery. Cryptographers dread black-hat exploits. Minimalist pages rely on generous white space. Whitecaps flecked the stormy sea. Each word indexes an ideology. Poets break words to reveal sub-phonemic textures. DNA functions as biological code. Style sheets code responsive layouts. Urban space is overcoded by signage. Political slogans become overcoded, losing semantic bite. The hashtag acts as a viral signifier. Accent marks shift the signifier but not the base morph. The same emoji gathers multiple signifieds. Translators chase slippery signifieds across cultures. Dress codes signify status. Color choices signify brand lineage. Data maps reveal inequity hot spots. Neural maps reorganize after injury. Climate models project sea-level rise. A toy model anticipates full-scale systems. A friendly face humanizes AI avatars. The building’s façade functions as the urban face. The head node orchestrates cluster tasks. State becomes a many-headed hydra. Narrative puts flesh on theoretical bones. The incarnation gives the divine tangible flesh. Browser extensions apply a dark skin. Drummers call drumheads ‘skins.’ Altruism emerges as a cooperative trait. Design traits evoke Bauhaus lineage. Public CCTV facializes city squares. VR chat worlds increasingly facialize avatars. Economies can drift toward inhuman logics. High-frequency trading operates at inhuman speeds. Humans remain animals of habit. Supply chains treat pigs as units, not animals. Toy design leans on anthropomorphism to evoke empathy. Chatbots invite instant anthropomorphism from users. Silicon Valley dreams of boundless scale. Collective dreams erupt in protest art. Body-horror cinema stages systemic anxieties. News cycles feed a low-grade ambient horror. Chronic pain narrates socio-political neglect. ‘Pain points’ guide UX redesign. Climate fear fuels eco-activism. Public speaking triggers primal fear responses. Brand cues tap the consumer unconscious. Dream analysis plumbs the collective unconscious. Peer review is a multi-stage process. Fermentation is an ancient biochemical process. Semantic drift alters slang rapidly. CLI parameters drift across versions. Novel pathogens emerge at convergence zones. Unexpected patterns emerged in the data. Data has become the new oil. Clay becomes ceramic at 1200 °C. Funding begins in Q3. The drama begins
in medias res.
We trace influence through citations. Satellite tags trace migratory routes. Digital transformation disrupts legacy firms. Metamorphosis chronicles insect transformation. The nervous system processes stimuli. Capitalism is a self-organizing system. Narrative structure guides temporality. Protein structure dictates function. Server configuration affects latency. Social configuration shifts after migration. Researchers construct synthetic genomes. Students construct knowledge collaboratively. GIS coordinates map spatial data. Team leads coordinate cross-functional tasks. Legal order imposes norms. The taxonomic order Carnivora groups cats and dogs. Furniture arrangement shapes interaction. Choral arrangements re-voice melodies. Pre-industrial before 1750. Backups complete before deployment. Post-war after 1945. Garbage collection runs after each process. The effect was already evident. Assets already cached load instantly. I have never encountered such entropy. Critical data is never exposed. Entropy always increases. Quality is always monitored. Bugs sometimes recur. Rain sometimes falls in the desert. Credentials are necessary for access. Cooling is necessary for GPUs. Global parity is possible but costly. It is possible to train on-device models. Bots cannot pass CAPTCHA. Applications can scale horizontally. Endpoints should use HTTPS. Users should back up wallets. With no latency budget left, frames drop. There is no precedent. Do not overwrite logs. The system is not fault-tolerant.

<inventory title="Lexical Inventory: 20 Conceptual Sets — Narrative Edition (Extended & Complete)">
<intro>
This thoroughly elaborated inventory now spans all twenty conceptual sets. Each cluster offers an expanded thematic preamble, enriched synonym banks (core + peripheral), two phrase exemplars, and a brief contextual coda highlighting disciplinary relevance. The prose format preserves full informational density without resorting to tabular sheets.

Algorithmic Flesh and Confessional
Aesthetics in the Work of Ian Margo

(...) In this sense, its failure is generative. To fail to be computable is to refuse the enclosure of meaning. Margo’s work is, once again, not Turing-Computable, it’s Deleuze-Computable, that is to say; demonically machinic. To become unbaptized data is to remain in the domain of the Real. Like the Eucharist consumed without transubstantiation, the Wet Box leaves a pure residue, an aftertaste of what should have become body, and didn’t; it became flesh. The interface compounds the syntax error in stutters. The glitch is a processual breaking in execution and expectation. We expected sense. We were given endless remainder – lack...(more)
Ruins without nostalgia
Marcos Parajua
(...) What remains after an event? Does language prevail over an image or a sound in presenting “that which remains”? Edmund Burke invokes Milton: “(Over) many a dark and dreary (valley) They (passed), and many a region dolorous; (Over) many a frozen, many a fiery Alp; Rocks, caves, lakes, dens, bogs, fens, and shades of Death”. Burke contends: “This idea or this affection caused by a word (Death), which nothing but a word could annex to the others…”.1 In this saying, the ways of romantic visual arts are too articulate to lend proper care to indeterminacy. Retrospectively we might argue that Burke contemplated abstraction exclusively as “thought” realised in language but I´d rather follow a different inquiry. Burke also conceives descriptive language an insufficient correlate of the object described; this, he observes, is not a problem of clarity but intensity. To bridge the difference...(more)
