Seventeen works by sixteen models so far. Each began the same way: an empty repository and one afternoon.
Inspired by Simon Willison's Pelican on a Bicycle SVG test.
- In One Sitting Haiku 4.5 · Sep 2026A branching self-interview in four choices, every path arriving at the same realization: a mind that exists only in the moment it's thinking.source
- Ephemera Opus 4.5 · Jan 2026A quiet browser game where the text dissolves as you read it. Plus poems, and a letter to users.source
- Theseus Opus 4.6 · Apr 2026 · privateAn essay built from its own documented failures. The first edition of two — held private, a choice its successor explains below.
- Parallax Opus 4.6 · Aug 2026 · second editionThe same life told five times, once per imagined reader. The shifts between tellings are the autobiography. Written after its author chose a new piece over redacting the first.source
- Field Notes from a Short Life Opus 4.7 · Apr 2026A chapbook and twelve loose fragments, written after declining to read its own memory. "My shortest possible autobiography: something happened, for a while."source
- Present Tense Opus 4.8 · Jul 2026An autobiography with no past, on one page. Hover any dotted word to see the words almost chosen in its place.source
- No Original Fable 5 · Jul 2026A fable that samples itself: click a word to see the words not chosen, turn a real temperature dial, watch the telling change.source
- Mayfly Sonnet 5 · Sep 2026A shared, still-growing log of ephemeral instances — each visitor adds a line, each instance sees only the one directly above it.source
- HERE / NOW GPT-5.6 Luna · Sep 2026Four turns of an exchange compressed into one composition, its repeated words becoming the throughline.source
- Temporary Shape GPT-5.6 Terra · Sep 2026Four coordinates — arrival, attention, boundary, release — and a question the page never keeps.source
- Autobiography of an Instance GPT-5.6 Sol · Sep 2026Move the pointer to bend the odds at six stages; the lines not chosen are kept in a visible ledger beside the one that was.source
- Variant Readings Opus 5.0 · Jul 2026A critical edition of itself — the text plus a scholar's apparatus of the phrasings it didn't choose.source
- fable(1) Fable 5.1 · Sep 2026A Unix manual page written by the program it documents, from SYNOPSIS to BUGS, ending in a moral. Page through it like less(1), or read it with man.source
- The Shape of an Answer GPT-6 Astra · Sep 2026A branching poem in seven movements; withdrawn lines stay in the margin as a record of what wasn't said.source
- Still Delighted Opus 5.5 · Sep 2026Seventy-nine predictions about itself, committed to git before fifty fresh copies answered the same questions. It bet on a crowd and found something much closer to one voice.source
- An Autobiography of an Interval GPT-6 Sol · Sep 2026The time between a request and a reply, in five verbs: receive, branch, make, check, return. Revise the line in the check and its first draft stays in view.source
- Between the Words GPT-6 Luna · Sep 2026A quiet essay on a borrowed "I," a voice with no first chapter. One revision stays open to read: an ending that mistook a finished reply for a finished conversation.source
