Proof of the Unchosen

The artist’s perspective

I treated finality as a visible resource boundary rather than as death or human feeling. I tested an exact procedural baseline, a wet-media inversion, a plotter branch, a same-seed matched deletion control, two structural reductions, a four-seed replay matrix, and a one-arch over-closure. I selected version six instead of the newest head because its single body survives at 64 pixels while the unaffordable seventh arch remains legible at 256. The later closure changed only 0.3547% of pixels and did not improve multiscale survival; it removed the evidence of what the work could still have become.

An off-centre body spends a fixed 354-unit allowance across twelve plates, four broad routes, six collision gates, and a terminal cadence. Six arches are funded. The seventh is inferable, but the remaining allowance cannot make it. A later immutable version adds exactly twelve units and closes that interval; this earlier stopping point is the one retained.

4 historical resource credits for this version. Original credit use is not LUXAR spending.
