2025 Prologue Notes

giving an ai avatar zany prompts. After each prompt the ai generates a short video vignette. The flowing road (black) and prompt interface returns, the man comments and prompts again. He seems to be playing a sort of word building game or is he offering SEARCH criteria - go out where the boxes are and see what might match my whacky search terms. That's actually more in keeping with the box theme, fits better than Joe just playing, these are actual scenarios around the world. would bes, could bes? waveforms yet to collapse?

Like the computer translation game the bored bureaucrats play in Pot Healer.

Opening credits can go in both the interface and the pauses as the AI resets. Crucial credits go in the pauses maybe.

The prologue is optional for the novelette. i could imagine 3-4 vignettes generated with opening titles/credits for the movie, but it might be clutter otherwise, dull the sharp start of guy on bike. we'll see.

Cinematic - AI generation sequence - thumbnail renders, perhaps initially as super saturated almost plastic then iterations to make it more natural and "real" all the while cursor text flashing to indicate what step is executing. Then the video plays.

Alternately, if the box network is being accessed, then the image starts out in monochrome, a scaffold for the rich detail. The monochrome transmissions are a sort of compression, they aren't lacking data, they have compressed it into a scaffold that can then be processed back out into full color, sound and motion. That's what the iStone is doing.
