Reading your workflow described in PROMPTS.md was insightful. I appreciate how much thought goes into each follow-up, including the manual steps after each invocation.

The choice of Braille is very clever. I once failed a typography class for using Braille in a final design project that was supposed to create a sequence of images representing a visual story out of pure typography. This followed a 30 minute long argument with the professor during critique in which he asserted that Braille was not type. I countered that it was. It's charming to see it employed in this way.

The effect reminds me of the classic Fishtro demo by Future Crew from 1992: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUjRpLn2qWo

Now, this makes me think of a thing I never knew I wanted: Plasma Pong, but in the terminal.
