Vestiges of the Dead God
Description
Press Z to save a gif of the last 16 seconds. This is meant to be a perfect loop, but you might have to wait up to a minute first to let your piece reach a stable equilibrium that actually loops.

Archivist's Note
The on-chain description is characteristically terse—just the controls and a note about waiting for equilibrium. But that instruction is the piece's conceptual statement: each mint runs a live simulation that must find its own stable loop. The "waiting" isn't a limitation, it's the point. You're watching a system settle into its attractor.
This was the generative fxhash expansion of the Vestiges series, taking what were previously handcrafted 1/1 remnants and letting the system generate its own Dead God loops at scale. 39 editions, each finding its own equilibrium—or not.
