A stale, already-merged worktree (`feature/BuildSimulator11`, + same commit as main) was the session's launch cwd. +- Design of record: `2026-06-04-human-experience-filter-design.md` — single pano + projector + **found** nature video; §1 constraint "real found media, **not + algorithmically generated filler. Curation is the artwork.**" + +## Turn-by-turn arc + +1. **Gate / classify.** Operator's prompt was ambiguous between discovery and a + quick chat; asked → operator chose **Discovery (tracked)**. Ran + `wgl-session-discovery-init`. +2. **Claim snag (kept in the record).** `resolve-app.py` reported **ambiguous** — + the nested worktree's `app.json` (`.worktrees/feature-BuildSimulator11/app.json`) + was discovered alongside the canonical main-repo `app.json`, both listing the + repo. Worked around with `WGL_APP_SCAN_DEPTH=3` (excludes the depth-5 worktree + copy). Claimed session **0005**, type discovery, at `850f67a`. +3. **Economics, v1 (the original question).** Researched 2026 AI-video API rates + (Sora 2 ~$0.10/s, Kling 3.0 ~$0.10/s, Veo 3.1 Lite/Runway Turbo ~$0.05/s, Veo 3 + +audio ~$0.75/s). At the spec's scale (120–800 pieces × ~10-min segments) → + **~$15k–45k+** with retries; **not viable**, and it doesn't reduce the real + constraint (curation labor). Also flagged the §1 thesis conflict ("not generated + filler"). +4. **Thesis pivot.** Operator: willing to change the thesis — the piece is "about + **how humans interact with machines and how it impacts their nervous systems**." + Under that thesis AI alteration *is* the subject. Invoked `brainstorming`. + Scope = **re-skin the meaning** (keep apparatus); content = **AI-altered + primary**. +5. **Economics, v2 (the flip).** New thesis unlocks two cost levers: small + **generate-to-order** library + short **seamless loops** → **~$300–3k**. Feasible. +6. **The strong concept crystallizes.** Operator: start from **neutral** real + nature footage and let the machine **alter it toward the knob state** — "a great + expression of how machines alter our experience, good and bad." Established the + per-axis mapping (Left = analytical overlay; Right = generative v2v dissolve; + Dark/Light = color grade), the **substrate-vs-overlay composition rule**, and the + "whole-brain" corner (feeling, *labeled*). +7. **Control panel + i18n.** Operator added a 7-way content dial (Off/White + Noise/Music/Audio Track/Video/Music+Video/Audio Track+Video), volume + brightness + knobs, and a tactile **wooden** panel (engraved symbols, braille, color LEDs, + read-aloud button). Designed touch-distinct/engravable symbols. Key finding on + the **translation cost**: because the Left **labels are a runtime overlay**, the + v2v renders once (language-agnostic) and supporting *every* language is ~free on + the video — only cheap text translation + TTS. (Baking labels in would multiply + video cost × #languages — the avoided landmine.) +8. **Mood color grade.** Operator: Light = yellow / white negative space; center = + raw ungraded video; Dark = blue / black negative space. (First draft mis-set + Dark=red and center=grey; operator corrected → Dark = melancholy **blue** not + alarm red; center = **raw video**, no grade.) +9. **Wrote the spec.** Branched `feature/machine-altered-perception-spec` off main, + wrote `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-05-machine-altered-perception-design.md` + (15 sections), committed, self-reviewed; operator reviewed and gave 4 + corrections (center=raw, add Music+Video → 7-way, audio-alteration deferred, + red gone) → applied, commit amended to `c5952c6`. +10. **Wrap.** Operator chose to wrap the discovery session here (spec is the + artifact; build later). Pushed branch; first PR-creation attempt was **blocked + by the auto-mode classifier** (treated as routing around PR authorization) — + surfaced it rather than working around. Operator then explicitly authorized + opening + merging the PR → **PR #4 opened and merged to `main`** (merge commit + `77746e4`, branch deleted), local `main` fast-forwarded. + +## Cut state (end of session) + +| Item | State | +|---|---| +| Design spec | **Merged to `main`** — `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-05-machine-altered-perception-design.md` | +| Branch commit | `c5952c6` (spec, amended with review fixes) | +| Merge commit | `77746e4` (PR #4), feature branch deleted | +| `main` | fast-forwarded to `77746e4` (local + origin) | +| Roadmap | unchanged on disk; spec §13 describes how sub-projects 2/3/4 + a new offline v2v pipeline are reshaped (a roadmap-edit pass is future work) | +| Memory | `ai-generated-content-thesis-pivot.md` (full design rationale + status) + `MEMORY.md` index updated | + +## What lands on the operator's plate + +- Nothing blocking. The spec is canonical and merged. +- Optional future passes the spec itself lists (§14): pano resolution strategy, + negative-space luma key, transform composition order, neutral-base count, + language tier, runtime-grading perf on the Pi. +- A roadmap-edit pass to reflect the reshaped sub-projects 2/3/4 (the design spec + carries it for now). + +## Deferred decisions + +No substantive low-confidence design calls — every design decision (thesis, +per-axis mapping, composition rule, color grade, the 7-way dial, the panel) was +operator-confirmed in-session. Two mechanical judgment calls worth flagging: + +- **`WGL_APP_SCAN_DEPTH=3` workaround** for the nested-worktree `app.json` + ambiguity in `resolve-app.py`. This is a genuine plugin friction (a worktree + nested under the main repo makes the resolver ambiguous) — a candidate for + `wgl-dev-plugin-feedback` (resolver should skip `.worktrees/`). +- **Repurposed the stale `feature/BuildSimulator11` worktree** to a fresh + `feature/machine-altered-perception-spec` branch off its HEAD (= main) rather + than removing it (harness had cwd anchored there; removal risked breaking the + shell). + +## Prompt the operator can paste into the next session + +``` +/goal Implement sub-project 3 (the player / alteration engine) per docs/ROADMAP.md and the new docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-05-machine-altered-perception-design.md.

Build the alteration engine: runtime luma-keyed mood grade (Light=yellow/white → raw → Dark=blue/black), runtime analytical-overlay compositor (multilingual, from string tables), generated white noise, and selection/blending of pre-baked v2v variants over a small neutral base library; resolve the spec §14 open questions (pano resolution, composition order) as you go. +``` diff --git a/sessions/0005/SESSION-0005.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-06-05T08-30--INPROGRESS.md b/sessions/0005/SESSION-0005.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-06-05T08-30--INPROGRESS.md deleted file mode 100644 index 58f263b..0000000 --- a/sessions/0005/SESSION-0005.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-06-05T08-30--INPROGRESS.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,23 +0,0 @@ -# Session 0005.0 — Transcript - -> App: human-experience-filter-art -> Start: 2026-06-05T08-30 (PST) -> Type: discovery -> Status: **PLACEHOLDER — claimed at session start; finalized at session end.** -> -> This file reserves session ID 0005 for human-experience-filter-art.
