The bust it couldn't build alone

SSE-2026-006 · v1.0.0 · case record (inspection level)

When a model's first attempt fails, how much of that failure is the model's limit, and how much is waiting for the right diagnosis?

What was observed

  • Unaided attempts failed three ways: a front-only silhouette, a geometric fallback (triangular orb), and collapse into a blob or diffuse field.
  • Diagnosis: viewpoint-dependent depth sorting, a mouth painted as texture rather than carved as a void, and shape checked after generation instead of enforced during placement.
  • With one targeted change per diagnosis, a Gemini Flash model produced a bust that holds volume and the open mouth through rotation.

Verify a download with sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS. A checksum proves a file is the one released; the README and the record make the argument.

Limitations

  • Does not show no model can do this unaided; it shows how much a correct diagnosis recovers.
  • Model versions for the failed attempts are not itemized in the public record.
