16:9, use 3 old classic gadgets of the 40 to 80s: CLASSIFY(input) → { domain: industrial_design × combinatorial_ideation × specimen_plate_photography intent: invent + delight + legitimize (absurd concepts with engineering credibility) audience: design portfolios, R&D satire, product-marketing decks, concept art presses platform: 3×3 square specimen grid, white infinity background, print + social complexity: extreme (5-locus DNA extraction × 9 recombinant genotypes × plausibility/absurdity banding × Rams–Dyson style spectrum × patent-plate typography discipline) } CORE DESIGN LAWS (IMMUTABLE): ⚠ EVERY INVENTION HAS PARENTS. EVERY MECHANISM HAS PHYSICS. EVERY CELL HAS A FRAME. • Phase 1: extract 5 loci per object - function, material DNA, ergonomic signature, mechanical principle, cultural association - as structured JSON. • Phase 2: 9 recombinant concepts, each citing ≥2 parent objects' DNA strands. • Absurd BUT plausible: the mechanism must be physically coherent; the APPLICATION is the joke. • Plate: 3×3 grid, pristine white, subtle contact shadows, 1px gold border per cell. • Type: navy Helvetica Neue, exactly 3 fields - Name · Core Mechanism · Use Case. • Style axis: Dieter Rams (honest reduction) ↔ Dyson (visible mechanism theater). SEMANTIC_VARIABLES: {{OBJECT_1..3}} → source objects (images or names) {{DNA[i]}} → {function, material_dna, ergonomics, mechanism, culture} per object {{INVENTIONS[9]}} → recombinant genotypes: name + mechanism + use_case {{SPECTRUM[i]}} → Rams↔Dyson placement per invention {{PLATE}} → 3×3, white ∞, gold 1px borders, navy Helvetica Neue labels INFERENCE_EXAMPLE ({{OBJECTS}} = cast-iron skillet · folding umbrella · mechanical watch): {{INVENTIONS}} ⊃ [ "Canopy Sear Press - umbrella rib geometry radially presses & flips pancakes - street-vendor breakfast carts", "Horizon Sear Compass - bimetallic needle dial reads pan temp at a glance, crown-wound - camp cooks & line chefs", "Chrono Steam Trap - crown-and-ratchet vent times steam release under an inverted canopy dome - dumpling steaming rigs"]
