AI art co-created with DALL-E2 starting with this prompt and then outpainted:

My intention was to visualize an understanding of this web3 essay https://jacob.energy/hyperstructures.html the cited sources to answer the question, “What do Hyperstructures mean to you?” for a recent art competition put on in the Zora Discord server.
