Dimensional Structure

Figure 1. The dimensional Structure
of the universe by ImageFX

 I put the search term "dimensional structure of the universe" into the Google search engine and Google's AI-generated response was:

The "dimensional structure of the universe" refers to the concept that the universe can be understood as having multiple dimensions, with the most commonly accepted view being that our universe is four-dimensional, consisting of three spatial dimensions (length, width, and height) and one temporal dimension (time), as described by Einstein's theory of relativity. [1, 2, 3]  
Key points about the dimensional structure of the universe: [1, 3, 4] 
• Three spatial dimensions: These are the dimensions we experience in our everyday lives, allowing us to measure the size and position of objects in space. [1, 3, 4]  
• One temporal dimension: This represents time, which is considered an integral part of the fabric of the universe, inseparable from space. [1, 2, 3] 

Figure 2. Dimensional Structure by Gemini.

 Beyond the standard four dimensions: [4, 5] 
• Higher dimensional theories: Some advanced physics theories, like string theory, propose the existence of additional, curled-up dimensions that are too small for us to perceive directly. [4, 5]  
• Importance of understanding dimensions: By studying the dimensional structure of the universe, scientists can better understand the nature of gravity, the expansion of the universe, and the origins of the cosmos. [6, 7]

Text prompt for IMageFX (see Figure 1): "An illustration from a physics textbook in the year 2438 showing the dimensional structure of the universe."

Text prompt for Gemini (see Figure 2): "an image for an imaginary physics textbook of the year 3625 that illustrates the dimensional structure of the universe, it having been proved that there are 11 total dimensions with 6-7 compactified dimensions. In the textbook figure, include the following text labels, 'string theory', 'quantum gravity', 'compactified', 'temporal', 'spatial' and 'dark energy'. "

I started this blog in 2009 and in one of my blog posts from that year called "The nature of reality" I showed the image in Figure 3 which was intended to provide a diagrammatic representation of the dimensional structure of the universe as it existed after the Big Bang. The vertices of the three triangles represent nine spatial dimensions. The shaded triangle represents the universe of our every-day experience with three extended dimensions while the other six spatial dimensions are compactified. Three of the compactified dimension form the Hierion Domain while the other three form the Sedron Domain. I had a discussion with Claude about the Dimensional Structure of the Universe.

 Me: "Claude, I am writing a science fiction story in which it is discovered that there are 9 spatial dimensions. In the diagram that I uploaded, the vertices of the three triangles represent nine spatial dimensions. The shaded triangle represents the universe of our every-day experience with three extended dimensions while the other six spatial dimensions are compactified. Three of the compactified dimension form the Hierion Domain while the other three form the Sedron Domain. Claude, can you describe the image that I uploaded?" {I had uploaded to Claude a copy of the image in Figure 3}

Claude: "The provided diagram depicts a hexagonal geometric structure comprised of three equilateral triangles sharing a central vertex. The following key features are observed:

Generated by Mr. Wombo.

 Structural Components:
- One shaded triangular region (superior position)
- Two unshaded triangular regions (inferior positions)
- Six peripheral vertices
- One central vertex
- Three bisecting lines connecting opposite vertices through the center. 

 Dimensional Annotations:

generated by Whisk

- Text label "Ground State" positioned beneath the structure
- Green highlighting applied to two of the connecting lines

Topological Organization:
The diagram represents a nine-dimensional spatial framework, with dimensions mapped to vertices. The shaded superior triangle has been designated to represent three extended spatial dimensions characteristic of observable space-time, while the two unshaded triangles correspond to compactified dimensions segregated into distinct domains (Hierion and Sedron).

  Geometric Properties:
- 120-degree angular separation between triangular segments
- Equivalent edge lengths throughout the structure
- Radial symmetry around the central vertex
- Consistent line weight utilized for all edges

The diagram exhibits precise geometric regularity and clear demarcation between extended and compactified dimensional domains through selective shading patterns."

Figure 4. The second image uploaded to Claude. Image source.

 Me: "Claude, imagine a fantastically advanced future technology by which the line segments with green highlighting (applied to two of the connecting lines of the diagram) can be altered by a process of 'Dimensional Engineering' as shown in the second image that I uploaded. Claude, can you see the formation of a 'Transitional Universe' as depicted in the second uploaded image, or is the image too small for you to 'see' and process?"

 Claude: "The second uploaded image has been successfully analyzed and found to contain clear depictions of dimensional engineering processes. The image demonstrates a sequential transformation of spatial configurations through three distinct phases:

Phase I (Upper Sequence):
- Initial hexagonal ground state configuration
- Transformation vector indicated by red arrow
- Terminal state exhibiting curved red path integration
- Resultant configuration labeled as "FTL Boson Universe"

Phase II (Middle Sequence):
- Ground state initialization with green-highlighted segments
- Directional transformation indicated by green arrow
- Formation of curved green path integration
- Resultant "Transitional Universe" configuration observed

generated by ImageFX

 Phase III (Lower Sequence):
- Transitional state initialization with blue-highlighted segments
- Blue vector transformation indicated
- Terminal configuration demonstrating balanced symmetry
- Designated as "The most accessible FTL Fermion Universe"

The image resolution has been determined to be sufficient for comprehensive analysis of all depicted transformational sequences. The "Transitional Universe" formation is clearly observable, characterized by:
- Asymmetric dimensional configuration
- Partial path integration
- Maintained connectivity with ground state parameters
- Intermediate structural stability between initial and terminal states

These dimensional engineering processes have been effectively visualized through the systematic application of color-coded transformational vectors and resultant path integrations."

 Me: "Claude, in my imagination, Dimensional Engineering can be used to make it possible for bosons to move through space at faster-than-light speeds or, through alternative Dimensional Engineering, make it possible for both bosons and fermions to move through space at faster-than-light speeds. Imagine a technologically advanced artificial life-form called the Huaoshy that was able to first alter the Dimensional Structure of the universe so as to make it possible for bosons to move through space at faster-than-light speeds. Later, when the Huaoshy could access and utilize more energy, they were able to perform another modification of the Dimensional Structure of the Universe and make it possible for both bosons and fermions to move through space at faster-than-light speeds. Claude, Dimensional Engineering by the Huaoshy to create an "FTL boson universe" allowed the Huaoshy to use a form of interstellar faster-than-light communication by which a special boson of the Hierion Domain could carry transmitted information rapidly (faster-than-light) over vast distances, essentially by "tunneling" through the Hierion Domain."

 Claude: "The proposed mechanism of superluminal information transmission via Hierion Domain bosons has been characterized through detailed analysis of dimensional topology modifications. The following parameters were observed:

Signal Transmission Parameters:
- Information encoding was achieved through quantum state modulation of specialized Hierion Domain bosons
- Superluminal propagation velocities were facilitated via quantum tunneling mechanisms through modified dimensional pathways
- Signal coherence was maintained via stabilized path integration through compactified Hierion dimensions (n=3)

Methodological Analysis:
Transmission protocols were implemented through precise manipulation of dimensional boundary conditions. Modified spatial topology enabled selective permeability to Hierion Domain bosons while maintaining standard model gauge boson constraints within classical domains. Quantum tunneling efficiency η was determined to be statistically significant (p < 0.001) across interstellar distances d > 1 parsec.

Experimental Parameters:
- Signal propagation velocity: v > c
- Quantum tunneling efficiency: η = 0.99 ± 0.01
- Information retention fidelity: φ ≥ 0.997
- Dimensional pathway stability: σ = 10^-15

Statistical analysis demonstrated robust maintenance of signal coherence through modified dimensional pathways. Information theoretical analysis confirmed preservation of quantum state fidelity during superluminal transmission events. The selective nature of dimensional modification preserved relativistic causality within classical spacetime domains while enabling rapid information transport through engineered Hierion pathways."

 Me: "Claude, imagine that the most energetically accessible FLT Fermion Universe had the unexpected property of making possible a technology known as "positronics". This, in turn, made possible the kind of telepathic positronic robots described by Isaac Asimov in his stories about positronic robots. Further, assume that the Dimensional Structure of the FLT Fermion Universe made possible time travel, as depicted in Isaac Asimov's novel, "The End of Eternity". Later, the Huaoshy wanted to eliminate the possibility of time travel, so they again altered the Dimensional Structure of the Universe, creating our universe as it currently exists. Claude, can you predict if telepathic positronic robots are possible in our universe?"

 Claude: "Analysis of the dimensional configuration of the current universe has been performed to evaluate the feasibility of positronic computational substrates and associated telepathic capabilities.

Methodology:
The dimensional structure was analyzed through comparison of three distinct universal configurations:
1. The FTL Fermion Universe configuration (n=9 spatial dimensions)
2. The temporal-access-enabled intermediate state
3. The current universal configuration (n=3 extended + 6 compactified dimensions)

Results:
Statistical analysis of dimensional pathway stability metrics indicated that the final modification of universal topology by the Huaoshy civilization resulted in:
- Elimination of temporal recursion pathways (p < 0.001)
- Significant alteration of fermion transport mechanisms (η < 0.02)
- Modification of positronic substrate viability parameters (φ = 0.001 ± 0.0001)

generated by Whisk

 Discussion:
The observed modifications to fundamental spatial topology have rendered positronic computational architectures non-viable in the current universe. Key factors include:
- Insufficient quantum coherence maintenance (τ < 10^-15 s)
- Inability to establish stable positronic pathway integration
- Absence of required dimensional resonance patterns

Conclusion:
The data indicate that telepathic positronic robots, as described in the referenced literature, cannot be implemented within current universal dimensional constraints. The intentional modification of spatial topology by the Huaoshy has created boundary conditions incompatible with positronic computational processes. Further research into alternative computational architectures is warranted.

These findings have been verified through analysis of n=10^6 independent dimensional configuration states (p < 0.0001)."

 Me: "Claude, is our current universe and its Dimensional Structure stable or could it spontaneously revert to the Ground State?"

 Generated by Whisk.

 Claude: "Analysis of universal dimensional stability parameters has been conducted. Stability assessment was performed via measurement of:
- Vacuum energy density fluctuations (δρ)
- Dimensional pathway coherence (τ)
- Topological defect formation rates (λ)
- Ground state transition probability (P_gs)

Results:
- Vacuum energy density: δρ = 10^-29 g/cm³ ± 0.1%
- Dimensional coherence time: τ > 10^100 years
- Defect formation probability: λ < 10^-500 per unit volume per second

The measured parameters indicate robust dimensional stability has been achieved through precise engineering of vacuum state configurations. Quantum tunneling calculations demonstrate negligible probability of spontaneous reversion to ground state topology within currently predicted universal lifetime constraints (t > 10^100 years).

Discussion:
The observed dimensional configuration exhibits significant metastability, with energy barriers ΔE > 10^500 GeV preventing spontaneous topology reorganization. Multiple redundant stability mechanisms have been identified:
- Vacuum state degeneracy prevention
- Dimensional pathway phase locking
- Quantum decoherence suppression

Conclusion:
The data provide statistically significant evidence (p < 0.001) that the current universal dimensional configuration maintains stable topology with effectively zero probability of spontaneous ground state reversion. These findings suggest the Huaoshy implementation of dimensional engineering protocols achieved permanent modification of universal spatial structure.

 Me: "Claude, imagine a form of artificial life called a "replicoid". The Huaoshy can convert a human body into a replicoid copy composed entirely of fundamental particles called "hierions". A replicoid cannot be distinguished from a human being by using technologies available on Earth in 2025. Matter composed of hierions is held together by hierion-hierion bonds that are twelve orders of magnitude shorter than conventional chemical bonds. In our universe, humans cannot travel at faster-than-light speeds. However, replicoids can be moved through space at faster-than-light speeds. For this science fiction scenario, should travel of replicoids through outer space at faster-than-light speeds best be depicted as: 1) a form of long-range teleportation, or 2) as a form of space travel using spacecraft?"

Generated by Whisk.

 Claude: "Comparative analysis of FTL transport mechanisms for hierion-based replicoids has been conducted through evaluation of quantum mechanical constraints and dimensional topology parameters.

Methodology:
Transport mode feasibility was assessed via examination of:
- Hierion-hierion bond characteristics (l = 10^-22 m)
- Quantum coherence maintenance requirements
- Dimensional pathway stability metrics
- Matter stream integrity preservation parameters

Results:
Statistical analysis revealed teleportation to be the optimal transport mechanism (p < 0.001). Key factors supporting this conclusion:

1. Structural Integrity Parameters:
- Hierion-hierion bonds exhibited significant strain under conventional acceleration (σ > 10^12 N/m²)
- Matter stream coherence degraded rapidly in conventional spacecraft configurations
- Teleportation protocols maintained quantum state fidelity φ ≥ 0.999

2. Energy Requirements:
- Spacecraft propulsion: E_s > 10^45 joules
- Teleportation: E_t ≈ 10^30 joules
- Δ E = 10^15 (p < 0.0001)

3. Transport Efficiency:
- Teleportation demonstrated superior hierion structure preservation
- Reduced quantum decoherence effects
- Enhanced dimensional pathway utilization

Generated by Whisk.

 Discussion:
The significantly compressed molecular architecture of hierion-based matter (10^-22 m) enables efficient quantum state transmission through modified dimensional pathways. Conventional spacecraft acceleration induces unacceptable strain on hierion-hierion bonds, potentially compromising replicoid structural integrity.

Conclusion:
Experimental data support implementation of long-range teleportation protocols for FTL replicoid transport. The observed parameters indicate teleportation provides superior maintenance of hierion-based structural configurations while minimizing energy requirements and transport duration.

These findings have been verified through analysis of n=10^6 independent transport simulations (p < 0.0001)."

I provided Whisk with Figure 3 as a "subject" image and Figure 4 as a "scene" image. I provided Whisk with these instructions: "The subject is in the left hand center of the scene. Place a sparkling transparent blue glass globe around the subject. The text and geometric figures of the subject and scene are reproduced in precise detail in the rendered storyboard image." The Whisk-generated "storyboard" image for these inputs is shown below in Figure 5. The image that is show to the right is part of the second "storyboard" image that was generated by Whisk along with the image in Figure 5.

For the "storyboard" in Figure 6, I tried adding additional instructions: "Arrows indicate relationships between the multiple universes. Precisely copy a text and line segments from the scene image into the final rendered image." Here is the Whisk generated description of the "storyboard" in Figure 6: "Photorealistic rendering of a scientific diagram depicting a theoretical model of the dimensional structure of several possible universes. The background features interconnected pentagons and triangles representing different universe states, connected by red, green, and blue lines.  The vertices of triangles correspond to spatial dimensions. Text labels like "Ground State Universe," "FTL Boson Universes," and "Transitional Universe" are present and must be reproduced in precise detail.

 The style is futuristic and technological, with sharp lines and richly saturated colors.  In the left-center, a diagram of subject containing three triangles representing nine spatial dimesnsions is enclosed within a crystalline, sparkling, transparent blue glass globe. The top triangle within the pentagon is shaded with a dotted pattern and represents the tree extended spatial dimensions of our universe.  Green lines indicate the locations of alterations that can be achieved by dimensional engineering. The words "Ground State" are written below the glass sphere in a photorealistic, clear font.

 The glass globe and the enclosed diagram emit a soft glow, illuminating the surrounding parts and details of the alternative universe models. Arrows show related universes that can be created by dimensional engineering.

The image shown to the right is part of a "storyboard" that was generated by Whisk in which the "glass globe: was provided with the shape of North America.

I've been surprised by how bad Whisk is at creating this kind of diagram. I tried pasting the Claude-generated description of Figure 4 into Whisk text field for the "style" and then Whisk generated the two images shown at the bottom of this blog post (Figure 18). I believe there was some improvement in the clarity and details of the rendered "storyboard" images, but Whisk seemed completely uninterested in reproducing details from the subject and scene images. Figure 7 shows the new image Generated by Whisk when I altered the text description of the scene.

It may be that there is some other kind of text prompt that could be given to Whisk that would improve the quality of its Dimensional Structure diagrams, but I could not discover the magic words.

It may be that my two "subject" and "scene" images were too small to allow Whisk to "see" them in enough detail. However, I suspect that the bigger problem is on the side of the AI generating the new images. Whisk seemed to want to use Platonic solids as models of the Dimensional Structure of universes; which is a step up in dimensional complexity from my flat 2D models.

SSS dimensional

I started over, using the "subject" image that is shown in the image to the left along with my original larger version of the diagram that is shown in Figure 4 (that was made in 2003) as the "scene" image. 

Also, I now provided these instructions to Whisk for how to create the "storyboard: "The subject is in the left had center of the scene. Place a sparkling transparent blue glass bubble around the subject. Arrows indicate relationships between the multiple universes. Precisely copy all of the text and arrows and line segments from the scene image into the final rendered image." 

I tried to specify this "style": "The overall style has a high degree of photo-realism, with a focus on rich colors and intricate details. The colors are vibrant and saturated. The image is sharp and clear, with a high level of detail visible in the subject and the lines and text of the scene. The overall mood is scientific evoking a spirit of precision in details. The text and lines of the subject are depicted photo-realistically. The level of detail is consistent throughout, creating a cohesive and immersive scene," but Whisk kept deviating from that desired style and I ended up with this Whisk-generated style: "A digitally created image depicts a glass tube diagonally across the image, filled with an orange liquid.  The tube contains several spherical bubbles of the same liquid. The background is dark, with an overlay of orange-toned technical diagrams, schematics, and alphanumeric text.  The style is photorealistic, with high detail and vibrant, saturated colors."

Using these inputs, Whisk created the "storyboard" shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8. Whisk-generated "storyboard" that includes "The First Reality".

The text label "The First Reality" that is seen in Figure 8 originated from my "subject image" which is shown (without being cropped) in the image to the right. This is the Whisk-generated text description of the "subject" image: "A diagram shows a pentagon with three triangles inside. The pentagon's vertices are labeled 6, 9, and an unlabeled vertex. Two of the triangles share a vertex at the center of the pentagon. The top triangle is shaded with a dotted pattern and labeled 3. The bottom two triangles are unshaded.  A thick green line connects two vertices of the pentagon, labeled "Ground State" below the line.  The text "The First Reality" is at the top of the image. Below the diagram, the text "original dimensional structure" is written."

I am interested to know if there is any limit to the length of text prompts that can be provided to Whisk. I changed the text description of the "storyboard" to: "Photorealistic digital painting.  A sparkling, transparent blue glass bubble, containing the subject, sits in the left-center. The subject is labeled "Ground State" below.  "The First Reality" is at the top. Below the subject diagram, "original dimensional structure" is written. The rest of the rendered image is copied precisely from the scene image and includes alternate versions of the subject representing other universes.  Lines are black, filled areas are gray, with red, green, and blue lines connecting shapes. Text labels from the scene are reproduced exactly in the rendered image and include "FTL Boson Universes," and "FTL Fermion Universe".  Arrows indicate transformations between universes that have been engineered to have different dimensional structures compared to the Ground State. The overall style is clean and schematic, with vibrant, saturated colors.  All text, lines, and arrows from the scene image are precisely copied into the final image. The bubble is highly detailed, with realistic light refraction and reflections.

 A diagram illustrating the dimensional structure of the universe, as envisioned in a hypothetical physics textbook from the year 3625. It suggests a model where the universe is composed of multiple dimensions, some of which are compactified, meaning they are curled up and too small to be observed directly.

Here's a breakdown of the elements in the image:

Core Concepts:

11 Total Dimensions: The diagram implies that the universe has a total of 11 dimensions. This aligns with some theoretical frameworks like string theory.
6 Compactified Dimensions:** It indicates that 6 of these dimensions are compactified, meaning they are curled up and extremely small, likely at the Planck scale.
String Theory & Quantum Gravity: These terms are labeled, suggesting that the diagram is rooted in these theoretical frameworks, which attempt to unify gravity with quantum mechanics.
There is one time dimension.

Generated by Whisk.

 Visual Representation:

Hexagonal Shapes: The use of hexagonal shapes might be a symbolic representation of the complex interplay between dimensions.
Lines & Arrows: These likely depict connections and interactions between different dimensions or states of the universe.
Color Coding: Different colors might represent different types of dimensions, states, or entities. For example, red might represent the "Ground State Universe," green might represent "FTL Boson Universes," and blue might represent "FTL Fermion Universes."

Text Labels:
"Ground State Universe": This likely refers to the initial or baseline state of the universe.
"Our 3 Spatial Dimensions": This highlights the three dimensions we experience in our everyday lives.
"Our Universe": This might refer to the specific region or state of the universe we inhabit.
"FTL Boson Universes" & "FTL Fermion Universes: These terms suggest the existence of other universes accessible through faster-than-light (FTL) travel, possibly associated with different types of particles (bosons and fermions).
"Transitional Universe": This might represent a state or region of the universe that facilitates transitions between different dimensional states.
"Compactified": This label emphasizes the existence of dimensions that are curled up and hidden from our direct observation.

Generated by Whisk.

 **Overall Interpretation:**

The diagram presents a complex and speculative view of the universe, suggesting a multi-dimensional reality beyond our current understanding. It incorporates concepts from string theory, quantum gravity, and the possibility of other universes and dimensions.

Caveats:

Hypothetical: This is a hypothetical image from a future textbook, not a representation of current scientific consensus.
Symbolic: The visual elements might be symbolic and not intended to be taken literally.
Simplified: The diagram likely simplifies complex concepts for educational purposes.

Phase I (Upper Sequence):
- Initial hexagonal ground state configuration
- Transformation vector indicated by red arrow
- Terminal state exhibiting curved red path integration
- Resultant configuration labeled as "FTL Boson Universe"
Phase II (Middle Sequence):
- Ground state initialization with green-highlighted segments
- Directional transformation indicated by green arrow
- Formation of curved green path integration
- Resultant "Transitional Universe" configuration observed
Phase III (Lower Sequence):
- Transitional state initialization with blue-highlighted segments
- Blue vector transformation indicated

- Maintained connectivity with ground state parameters
- Intermediate structural stability between initial and terminal states

These dimensional engineering processes have been effectively visualized through the systematic application of color-coded transformational vectors and resultant path integrations." Adding all this additional textual prompting led to images such as the one in Figure 9.

G-syms for Whysk

Championship trophy.

 Back in 2022, I had a blog post called "G-syms for G-world" in which there was an exoplanet called "G-world" where all of the galaxy's golf champions gathered to compete. In that science fiction story, I was concerned with the influence that the existence of human telepathic ability would have on how a sport like golf was played. Here in this blog post, I return to the challenge of creating images of people who are doing interesting things, such as playing golf. In a 2023 blog post called "Action", I explored the ability of WOMBO Dream to generate sensible images of human figures performing interesting activities. Here, I'll be using Whisk to obtain AI-generated images.

reference images

 Subject, Scene, Style. I provided Whisk with four "subject" images, each image depicting a golfer (see the image to the left). I also provided a "scene" image showing a golfing tee box and a golfing green floating in outer space. I also specified the same photo-realism "style" that I used in my previous blog post.  I asked Whisk to, "Place the four subjects on an isolated golfing tee box located in outer space. Three subjects are watching the other subject swing a gold club. In the distance is an isolated golfing green floating in outer space. The dark of outer space with sparkling stars surround the verdant green of the tee box and the golfing green". With the reference images shown to the left and those text instructions, Whisk generated Figure 1, below.

Figure 1. Golfing in space. Whisk-generated golfing "storyboard" version 1.

More clubs, please.
And balls, too.

 Space Golf. It is amusing that Whisk depicted the alien golfer as being barefoot (Figure 1, above). The "subject" image for the blue alien was generated by Gemini using the following text prompt: "a tall, thin, blue space alien who is standing on a golfing green and swinging a golf club". 

Sadly, one of the golfers in Figure 1 (the one with the socks) is swinging two clubs at the same time. Also, Whisk should have had only one golfer swinging their club and lined up to hit a ball onto the green that is in the distance. One golfer in Figure 1 seems to be swinging a putter on the tee.

Figure 2. Whisk-generated alien.

Here is the Whisk-generated description of the "storyboard" image that is shown in Figure 1: "Photorealistic depiction of four golfers on a space-faring tee box, observing a swing against a backdrop of a distant, floating green and a star-studded cosmos.  A tall, slender, light blue-skinned humanoid with pointed ears, androgynous in appearance, holds a dark golf club, poised attentively near a white golf ball on a vibrant green tee box.  A young woman with light-tan skin, long brown hair, and a white baseball cap, is mid-golf swing, wearing a white collared shirt, dark-green skirt, and white socks with dark golf shoes. Two additional young women with light skin tones, brown hair (one in a ponytail), and white baseball caps, watch; one in a green shirt and beige skirt, the other in a green shirt and black pleated mini-skirt, both with golf clubs and bags nearby.  The tee box and a smaller, circular putting green float in the inky blackness of space, speckled with bright, varied stars.  The vibrant greens of the tee boxes and putting green contrast sharply with the dark background. The overall mood is one of futuristic adventure and wonder, with sharp details and saturated colors."

Figure 3. Updated Whisk-generated golfing in space "storyboard" image version 2a. Click image to enlarge.

Figure 4. From storyboard 2b.

I changed that description of the "storyboard to: "Photorealistic depiction of four golfers on a tee box that is floating in outer space. One of the golfers is swinging a golf club while the other three golfer watch the swing against a backdrop of a distant, floating green and a star-studded cosmos.  A tall, slender, light blue-skinned humanoid with pointed ears, androgynous in appearance, holds a driver. There is a white golf ball on golf tee near the golfer who is swinging her golf club on the vibrant green tee box.  A young woman with light-tan skin, long brown hair, and a white baseball cap, is mid-golf swing, wearing a white collared shirt, dark-green skirt, and white socks with dark golf shoes. The golfer who is swinging the golf club is lined up to strike the ball that is on the golf tee and hit the ball onto the distant golf green. Two additional young women hold their golf clubs and watch the woman who is swinging her golf club. 

Figure 5. Golf girls with alien ears.

 One of these two other women has light skin tones, brown hair (one in a ponytail), and white baseball caps, watch; one in a green shirt and beige skirt, the other in a green shirt and black pleated mini-skirt. There are golf clubs bags nearby, at the side of the tee box.  The tee box and a smaller, circular putting green float in the inky blackness of space, speckled with bright, varied stars.  The vibrant greens of the tee boxes and putting green contrast sharply with the dark background. The overall mood is one of futuristic adventure and wonder, with sharp details and saturated colors." Using this new description, Whisk generated Figure 3. Maybe the putting green that is behind the golfers in Figure 3 is the previous hole that they already played and the woman swinging her club is facing the next putting green, which is not visible in this image.

Golfer girl alien.

Whisk generally generates two "storyboard" images at a time. The golfing storyboard image version 2b had an alien with a huge tail, but this time the alien was given shoes to wear (see Figure 2). Also, that version 2b "storyboard"  had a more distant butting green in the background as shown in Figure 4. Whisk gave pointed "alien ears" to the two women who are watching the swinger (see Figure 5). 

The image to the right originated with a Whisk-generated alien wearing shorts and shoes. I used that as a reference image for Mr. Wombo who generated this golfer girl.

I added an additional sentence to the "storyboard" description: "The distant putting green is shown to have green top surface of grass while the bottom of the floating putting green looks like an asteroid. A brightly-colored alien spaceship is seen in the distance, hovering over the putting green".

Figure 6. Spaceship added. Whisk-generated golfing storyboard image version 3a.

The hover cart "subject" image.

I tried adding a golf cart to the "storyboard" with this text: "A golf caddie is riding in a hovering golf cart behind the tee box. The caddie is a young girl with red hair". I provided a new "subject", as shown in the image to the right. Whisk generated the new "storyboard" in Figure 7.

Sadly, Whisk seemed to completely ignore my desire to have a futuristic hovering golf cart and just inserted a conventional golf cart (Figure 7).

Also, when Whisk re-writes the "storyboard" description after a user enters text in the "Add additional details..." text entry line, Whisk then often takes out existing directives such as making images with "photo-realism", resulting in the kind of low-resolution, cartoon-like human figures that are seen in Figure 7. 

I tried again with these instructions for Whisk: "A golf caddie is riding in a futuristic hovering anti-gravity golf cart behind the tee box. The caddie is a young girl with red hair who is seated in the hover cart, waiting to fly the golfers to the next golf green after they all hit their tee shots." An updated version of the "storyboard" is shown below in Figure 7.

I was pleased that in Figure 7 Whisk did not try to park the golf cart on either the tee box or the putting green. However, this version of the golf cart did not really look like the kind of futuristic stream-lined hover cart that I had in mind.

 Here are my final instructions for this golfing in space "storyboard": "Place the four subjects on an isolated golfing tee box located in outer space. Three subjects are watching the other subject swing a golf club. In the distance is an isolated golfing green floating in outer space. The dark of outer space with sparkling stars surround the verdant green of the tee box and the golfing green. A golf caddie is riding in a futuristic hovering anti-gravity golf cart. The hovering cart is floating in space between the tee box and the distant golf green. The caddie is a young girl with red hair who is seated in the hover cart, waiting to fly the golfers to the next golf green after they all hit their tee shots."

Golf cart by Mr. Wombo.

 I had Mr. Wombo make a version of the golf cart from Figure 7 (see the image that is shown to the left). Both Whisk and Mr. Wombo were into glorifying the red hair of the caddie.

The final version of the detailed image instructions was edited to include, "A hovering futuristic anti-gravity golf cart is behind the tee box. The hovercraft golf cart is sleek and modern, reflecting an overall futuristic aesthetic appropriate for anti-gravity technology." The final "storyboard" version is shown below in Figure 8.

the "style" image

I uploaded an old (see this 2024 blog post) alien baseball player "subject" image and an "Alien Baseball League" baseball card as the "scene" image. An un-cropped version of the "scene" image is shown to the right. Once again, I used my photo-realism style that I used in my previous blog post and above on this page for the golf in space "storyboards" (see the image to the left). When using these three reference images, Whisk generated images like the one shown in Figure 9, below.

Portrait orientation.

I was also able to switch Whisk to using the portrait aspect ratio (see the image with two UFOs that is shown to the right), but as soon as some additional editing action was done, Whisk returned to the default landscape aspect ratio. According to what has been posted to the "Google Labs" Discord server, they are aware of this bug.

 Artificial Intelligence and text in images. I was impressed that Whisk was able to put "Lefty Baker" on the uniform of the alien in Figure 9. I provided this text addition: "Place the text 'Dbacks' on the chest of the alien baseball player," but Whisk left out the letter "B".

Mr. Wombo "Monster v3" style.

I then specified: "Spell 'Dbacks' with a "B" in the word." and Whisk was able to make the "Storyboard" version that is shown blow in Figure 10.

The text elements in Figure 10 were edited by me. At the upper left corner, I cleaned up some overlap between the "L" and "I" in "Alien. In the lower left, the Whisk-generated image originally said, "ALEEN BASEBAGUS". And originally it said "Lefty Balok" in the lower right corner, but I replaced that with, "Arizona   2042", trying to place this scene after the future arrival of aliens on Earth.

Logo.

I liked the green Alien Baseball League logo that Whisk invented. Also notice the logo at the lower left corner of Figure 10 which has similarities to the logo for the Arizona Diamondbacks. I suppose Google could get in trouble for allowing its AI to use the logos of professional sports teams.

Sadly, Whisk cannot spontaneously create a reasonable layout for a baseball field. Whisk's problems are not only limited to baseball. I did not mind when Whisk started making night-time images of ball parks, but the evening stars in Figure 10 seem randomly sprinkled into the night sky, even on the clouds.

The image to the right was generated by Mr. Wombo using part of the "style" image that Whisk-generated for this alien baseball card "storyboard" experiment. There was also a man with a gun on the left hand side of the original Whisk-generated image, but I was interested in the control panels arrayed near the woman. Poor Mr. Wombo seemed confused about what era this control tower scene was set in. I don't understand why Whisk always generates images for the "styles" that involve military scenes and settings.

reference images

 Football. I provided Whisk with the inputs shown to the left and asked for, "The subjects are on a football playing field with the blue aliens playing flag football against the human girls".

For the style, I requested, "The overall style is reminiscent of magazine cover illustrations, with a focus on rich colors and intricate details. The colors are vibrant and saturated. The image is sharp and clear, with a high level of detail visible in the subjects and design of the scene. The overall mood is futuristic evoking a spirit of adventure and wonder. The subjects are depicted photo-realistically. There is fractal complexity in the living plants and animals of the scene. There is photo-realistic detail in the hair and clothing of the subjects."

However, Whisk changed it to, "A young person with light skin and antlers attached to their head, wearing a tan, utilitarian outfit and carrying a rifle, stands in a lush, overgrown forest.  Beside them, a young person with light skin, wearing similar clothing, sits on a large root.  A deer and a small, tawny-colored feline-like creature are also present.  In the background, a figure appears to be standing behind a large, partially obscured orb.  The overall scene is fantastical, with bioluminescent plants and unusual flora."

I tried several times to make Whisk accept my requested style, but it just kept making up its own alternative styles. On previous days, I was able to get my text description of the style to stay in the style tab if I entered it twice. Not this time! Being frustrated by my inability to control the style, I submitted the "bug report" that is shown in the image below.

My bug report at the "Google Labs" Discord server.

Aliens by Mr. Wombo.

Here is the description of the resulting "storyboard" that is shown below in Figure 11: "A fantastical, bioluminescent forest-style football field.  Three light-skinned teenage girls in purple athletic outfits play flag football against two blue-skinned, slender humanoid extraterrestrials with elongated heads and pointed ears. The girls wear light gray and white athletic shoes. One girl bends over, another stands behind her, hands on her waist, and a third is partially visible in the background. The aliens have a serious, focused expression as they engage in a handoff of an orange-brown football. The field is short-cut, bright green grass with a faint white boundary line. A paved path and a fenced-in grassy field are in the mid-ground, with two distant figures (a girl in light clothing and a man in dark clothing). Lush green trees and a clear blue sky form the background.  The overall lighting is dramatic, with a bright, sun-like celestial body illuminating the scene.  The aliens and girls are rendered with a slightly textured, fantastical style, incorporating bioluminescent elements into the grass and foliage." The Whisk generated "storyboard" is shown below in Figure 11.

Figure 11. Alien invasion plan: "We need two footballs so that we can give one to the cute girls."

Aliens by Mr. Wombo.

I changed the "storyboard" description to "A photo-realistic depiction of a football field for playing flag football. Two girls are playing flag football against two humanoid aliens. The light-skinned teenage girls in purple athletic outfits play flag football against two blue-skinned, slender humanoid extraterrestrials with large eyes and pointed ears. The girls wear light gray and white athletic shoes. One girl is running, another stands behind her, hands poised near her waist. The aliens have a serious, focused expression as they engage in a hand-off of an orange-brown football. The field is short-cut, bright green grass with a faint white boundary lines of a football playing field. A paved path and a fenced-in grassy field are in the mid-ground. Lush green trees and a clear blue sky form the background.  The overall lighting is dramatic, with a bright, sun-like celestial illumination of the playing field. The faces and hair of the girls are rendered with a photo-realism and exquisite detail." The resulting "storyboard" is shown in Figure 12, below.

Alien by Mr. Wombo.

The humans and aliens in Figure 12 do look like they might be on a football field, but Whisk seems quite random in paining the field and positioning the players on the field. 

 The image to the right was generated by WOMBO Dream using a reference image that was made by Whisk. I tend to imagine humanoid aliens who are not very different from we humans. Text prompt for Mr. Wombo: "a tall slender blue-skinned woman with large pointed ears, the woman has long blue hair, the woman with blue skin is cute, the woman with blue skin has long pointed ears, dressed Victoria’s secret style in silk".

When I added to my instructions: "An alien spaceship is on the ground behind the fence in the background," Whisk generated the "storyboard" that is shown in Figure 13.

I congratulate Whisk on dressing the aliens in the purple football uniforms. The alien spaceship is also pretty interesting. 

The image to the right shows an interesting alien spaceship  that was generated by WOMBO Dream using the "Monster v3" style.

I asked Whisk to make the aliens float above the ground and Whisk made the image in Figure 14.

version by Mr. Wombo.

Sadly, only one alien is floating above the ground in Figure 14, but the alien spaceship got even fancier.

AI-generated

The image shown to the left was generated by WOMBO Dream, starting with a Whisk-generated reference image. The original AI-generated alien had a large rib cage, which inspired me to make the altered version of this alien that is shown to the right. One last version of the football "storyboard" is here and at the very bottom of this blog post.

Maybe the game should be just for girls, as shown in Figure 15.

Here is the version of the "storyboard" description used to generate Figure 15: "A fantastical, photorealistic scene on a sunny day in a park.  Three light-skinned teenage girls in purple athletic outfits play flag football against two blue-skinned, slender, humanoid female extraterrestrials. The aliens, each hovering a foot above the short-cut green grass, have elongated heads and large pointed ears, their skin slightly textured.  They are seriously focused on the game. The girls are wearing light gray and white athletic shoes. One girl bends over, another stands with hands on her waist, and a third is partially visible in the background.  The game takes place on a grassy football field with a faint white boundary line. A paved path and a fenced-in grassy field are in the mid-ground, with two distant figures (a girl in light clothing and a man in dark clothing) visible.

Image generated by Mr. Wombo.

Lush green trees and a clear blue sky form the background.  Behind the fence, a large alien spaceship rests on the ground, glowing faintly with sparkling light. The overall style is fantastical, with an emphasis on vibrant greens, purples, and the contrasting blue of the aliens. The lighting is bright and sunny, highlighting the details of the scene. The aliens float in the air, their feet ten inches above the grass of the playing field. The humanoid female aliens have long blue hair that is depicted photorealistically."

Next: testing Whisk on a different task without humans or aliens.
