Summary

A diffusion sampler alternated between source and transformed spaces to preserve self-referential geometry.

The method builds a generalized inverse for a non-invertible conformal transformation and braids denoising steps across both spaces. The resulting Print Gallery-like scenes explore constrained image generation rather than document a physical process.

Why it matters
