Seven axes, exactly one suspended law per picture, and only invented scenes — this will not attempt a likeness of a real person.
Same seed, same locks, same scene. Lock an axis to hold it while the rest reroll.
The exact brief that will be sent
Character for character. Nothing else is sent and nothing is added on the way.
How the space works, and what runs free
Ask any image model for “something surreal” and it hands back the same picture: a melting clock, a floating island, a man whose face is an apple. Those are the genre’s greatest hits, and the word itself is what summons them.
This takes the space apart instead. Seven axes — the broken law, what it breaks on, where it happens, the light, the palette, the medium and how the picture behaves about it — with the sampler deliberately biased away from the stock answer on every one. Exactly one law is suspended per picture, the brief names it, and the same brief states in plain words that everything else obeys ordinary weight, anatomy and optics. That last sentence is the difference between a strange picture and soup.
The first axis offers ten kinds of strangeness — scale inversion, material substitution, physics violation, uncanny recombination, repetition, wrong place, inside out, absence made solid, time out of joint, animacy swap. Every axis is selectable from its own menu and lockable: tick the lock and that choice is held while everything else rerolls. The medium axis carries eleven ways of rendering the same scene, from oil painting to cyanotype, because the medium is what sells the impossibility.
Scenes are seeded and therefore reproducible: the seed is the whole scene, and the same seed with the same locks always compiles the same brief, so one worth keeping can be written down and reopened later.
Cliché lint reads your own wording and says when a phrase is one the genre has worn out. It is advice only, nothing is blocked, and none of it reaches the renderer — naming a cliché in an instruction is a reliable way to summon it, so the brief never mentions one and the space avoids them by drawing somewhere else instead.
A content guard runs in the browser before any credit is reserved — before the estimate, before the run. It refuses likenesses of real people and gore outright, so a refused scene costs nothing at all.
What runs free. Composing scenes, rerolling, locking axes, reading the complete brief, the lint, the content guard, the exports and the bundled example are all free and work signed out. Only rendering a picture is a metered run, and the price sits beside the render button before you press it.
