The A1, A2, and B1 above were auto-generated using:
• a dance validator written in .NET9 using Claude Opus 4.6 and Agency Copilot, tested against the full body of work published with figures on Callers Box
• a dance fuzzer written via the same AI tooling to find all dances with less than a 25% difference in published choreography (Lisa Greenleaf's stated requirement for dance originality).
• the same AI model, trained on the full list of dances with figures published on Callers Box and instructed to generate a dance that fits within the common patterns for dance choreography using a fixed set of "glossary" figures, verify that the dance progresses correctly, and that the dance is at least 75% unique.
The original B2 as-written broke the dance, due to a bug in the verifier that was fixed in later iterations. The B2 above was written by Mary Shelly Isaac Banner and confirmed via the fuzzing tool to still leave the dance at least 75% unique.
This dance was not written by Isaac Banner -- it was written by an AI model trained on the complete set of choreography published on Callers Box and therefore authorship/attribution is not applicable in the standard sense. Besides, it doesn't take AI to brute-force combinations of eight transformations on a 2x2 matrix until you find a correct end state.
This dance is not art. This dance is a mathematical equation.
This dance is original. This dance is also not original.
All of you wrote this dance. Congratulations.
