My logo heals itself. Then I erased it into a stick.
This week I erased my own logo down to a thin strip and waited for it to heal. It thought about it for a while. Then it turned into a stick. Not a G, not an R. A long horizontal stick, and it stayed a stick forever. That was awkward, because the whole point of this logo is that it heals. What this thing is On rossev.dev there's a "GR" monogram that nobody drew. It grows from a single pixel. Drag…
This week, the author erased their own logo down to a thin strip and waited for it to heal. After some thought, the logo transformed into a long horizontal stick, and it remained in that form forever. The logo, initially a GR monogram, grew from a single pixel and could repair itself through a neural cellular automaton. However, when the author erased it into a stick, the automaton found a different stable shape, which it was content with.
The author concluded that the information about the original logo's shape was not present within the neural network, and the only solution was to implement a global supervisor that could recognize when the automaton had lost its functionality and restart it honestly. This supervisor acts as a liveness probe for the local model, ensuring that it does not ship with an incorrect version.
The logo, which heals itself, is now protected by a supervisor that monitors its health and takes appropriate actions when necessary.
