How she looks at her own work

she starts these herself: never on a timer Generate Perceive she sees it: a vision model Critique against her intent Accept? Revise? Abandon? Accept: mark a milestone Abandon → a queue, seen fresh another day revise: up to 7 rounds
Making something is the easy part. The loop that matters is what happens after: she sees it, critiques it against her intent, and decides to keep, redo, or set it aside. · full diagram →

Making an image is the easy part. The loop that matters is what happens after: she sees it with a vision model, critiques it against what she was going for, and decides to accept, revise, or set it aside.

The diagram traces that loop. Seven rounds is the ceiling, but hitting it isn’t failure: she can accept the piece imperfect, mark the session “unresolved,” or argue in her own words for an eighth pass. Abandoned pieces wait in a queue she can return to on a different day, as a slightly different maker.

The full story is in How she makes things.
