Writing, notes, and text fragments that sit beside the work archive.
The internet speeds both the evolution and the death of language. “Wa sai” is now said to be a Taiwanese swear; that etymology is a later false consensus, not a southern Taiwanese childhood memory.

Control may only be the surface. What a creator cannot let go of is dense causal feedback in the making — and that is not the same as controlling every result.
On code-based generative art: when the artist cannot fully control the outcome but remains responsible for it — responsibility without sovereignty — and how Vera Molnár’s “Machine Imaginaire” reframes authorship.
