Rule-Based Interpretation

Workflow: Rule-Based Interpretation

Rule-sets are artistic decisions. Adjust rules rather than prompts, and let conditional logic transform images over time. Process, not polish.

Concept

  • Art as behavior, not only object — the systems-art lineage.
  • IF/THEN logic turns interpretation into a repeatable procedure.
  • A rule is a position: it decides what matters before the machine runs.

What happens when you adjust rules rather than prompts?
