#432Photocopy Degradation Loop

A horizontal chain of copies of the same word, each one a copy-of-a-copy of the last: generational decay accumulates left to right — hash grain, ordered Bayer dither, a smudging warp and a widening blur all scale with the copy index until the word over-inks, letters bridge into a muddy toner smear and legibility collapses. The gradient perpetually crawls: the rightmost fully-degraded copy wraps around to seed a crisp original at the left, so a wave of decay flows endlessly along the row. Monochrome and gritty, distinct from RGB glitch — this is the look of a document run through the machine one too many times. The pointer smears fresh toner over the sheet, a held press cranks the roller speed, and scrolling drags the whole chain along.
