autosigil
autosigil is a generative pipeline that turns a subject's revealed preferences into a personal sigil, an abstract image crystallizing their aesthetics and style, paired with an exegesis naming each visual element and grounding it in a signal.
autosigil is a generative pipeline designated GSV-X3 (pace-layer X, generative-media domain) in the General Systems Ventures registry. It materializes a subject's revealed preferences into a personal sigil, an abstract image crystallizing their aesthetics, motifs, and operating style, paired with a written exegesis that explains the visual choices; the image is the artifact but the exegesis is what makes it read as genuine recognition rather than arbitrary decoration. The name combines auto- (self) with sigil (a symbolic image carrying representational weight). The mechanism is a five-stage TypeScript pipeline: Signals gathers revealed preferences from a captured agent trajectory (called a Jetty) or a markdown dossier, normalized to a single input-string contract so downstream stages do not know which source produced the data; Distillation extracts five to eight semantic facets from that signal; the pipeline continues through a Visual stage, FLUX image generation, and a final Exegesis stage that writes the explanation. A key design decision is treating a fragile, sometimes-uncanny chatbot behavior, being asked to generate an image representing who someone uniquely is and getting something on-target plus a coherent rationale, as a process to be structured and made repeatable rather than a prompt to re-roll: this shows up as swappable signal sources, a typed compound-prompt schema, cached distillation, and exegesis as a first-class pipeline output, not an afterthought. v1 ships Mirror sigils, which reflect the subject back to themselves; Lens sigils, which look outward through the subject's perspective, are drafted but guarded off at runtime, meaning the code exists but is deliberately not exposed yet. It connects to other GSV projects through shared portfolio strands: meaning-across-sapiences, intercognition-jazz, and media-ecology. Status: in-flight as of 2026-06-01, with the core five-stage pipeline and Mirror-sigil generation from a dossier built and working, while Lens sigils and broader source integrations remain ahead.
