I don't usually do threads so that I can abuse them on days such as this. Further along, each of the butterflies will be shown in their glory as they evolve upto Day VI from their genesis. Don't seek to understand it. It's just like magnesium glycinate..let it do its job.
While I've maintained the same size for each of them to display in this format on X, the actual pixel grid size grows as:
> 25th October, 2022: Day I: 24 x 24 px (Genesis)
> 25th December, 2022: Day II: 30 x 30 px
> 25th August, 2023: Day III: 36 x 36 px
> 25th April, 2024: Day IV: 42 x 42 px
> 25th December, 2024: Day V: 48 x 48 px
> 25th August, 2025: Day VI: 54 x 54 px
Come April 25th, 2026, so long as I'm alive, there shall be a Day VII. These butterflies are all created anew over 8 month cycles representing a day in a butterfly's life (not generated via a script). I find the linkage between my own growth and the work itself may even make it generative in some committed sense. Therefore each butterfly lives and dies with me.
If you own the genesis butterfly, you keep receiving the next butterfly as an airdrop. The intrinsic value of this drawn out social experiment is pegged against the Genesis butterfly. The original idea or the original sin. Creation (Accusation) eh, @nfnkalyan ?
Smart contracts x Social contract ~ PoS x PoW
All art that I make in this format will adhere to this simple preference.

Visual evolution in the streets, metadata updates in the .json sheets.
Each butterfly naturally leans deeper into its palette, unfolding gradients and perhaps looks even more palatable. Just as ideas do, when kneaded and baked a little while longer.
Acceptance of resolution may depend on tolerance of intuition, as they say.
Establishing common ground (synapse) is paramount, but I can only be clear about it through my own aperture. Its the best I have to offer you and given my ambition, my lived experience that informs each butterfly's pixels works as undeniable synaptic fluid.
The bubbles evolving through the metadata mentioned here on the sheet are merely where my stick meets the cue ball. I like snooker.
Verbiage for social contracts is nice, in a pinch.

Creating art on chain for me was always just the most antifragile way to tokenize fleeting thought, and in this case, about the power of conviction inflating our intentions and actions with or without consequence.
Hence the simplified motif of a butterfly within a bubble, informed and insulated by it as it continues to inflate it with its flutter.

Reached out to a few folks personally to talk about the series as it was evident despite 'decentralization', that it could matter who collected your first major credible fingerprints and footprints in the space.
Discord was calm, X was still Twitter, FTX hadn't gone bust yet. IYKYK the times.
Some of the best chats I've had honestly, given that I was 'back on the internet' after 4 years of living what seemed like a semi-luddite life in a himalayan valley, and each of them represented all kinds of domains of interest far from my axis and to think they'd all converge upon the work (despite the natural doubt about a thing such as this being executable) was bare cool.
Pendulous flirting comes easy to an evolving idealist. Friction is traction in our world, passivity is for cucks.
As Ive maintained before, I make art to challenge skepticism, not cynicism. Plenty reasons to be cynical, plenty more to not remain skeptical and stutter.

22nd September 2022 was when the website for the series was up, thanks to @deadfiat_eth , a true artist's-dev, if that's a thing.
"Low resolution, overpromise to over-deliver", we agreed.
Have known each other for decades so was easier to trust.

Cognition is the currency,
Conviction is the store of value.
Day VI of my ongoing series 'Butterfly Bubble' brings us into the seventh phase of the work, which in one word, is about transmutation.
Change is a constant, sure, but how we change is constantly upto the autonomous.
