Frequently Asked
What is PsyberStore?
PsyberStore is a generative art store where every product is a unique, one-of-one image created from a precise coordinate in a living image field. Once a coordinate is sold, that exact image is permanently retired — it will never be produced again. In simple terms: you are claiming a unique position in a generative world and receiving the only physical print that will ever be produced from it.
What do I actually receive?
A high-quality physical print — fine art poster, stretched canvas, die-cut sticker, or other format — of your specific coordinate. The image is rendered at print resolution at the time of your purchase and shipped directly to you. You also receive the postcode: a verifiable address string that encodes the exact position in the field, the practitioner seed, and the time of issue.
What is a coordinate?
A coordinate is a precise address inside a basin — like a point on a map. That address defines everything needed to generate a unique image. Technically, it is defined by its face (intention field), its sub-basin position (latent blend × frame depth), its rotation angle, and the clock state at time of render. Together these produce an image that has never existed before and cannot be reproduced.
What does 1-of-1 actually mean here?
It means that the specific image you receive — at that exact coordinate, rotation, and clock state — is issued once. The moment it is purchased, that slot is retired. The postcode is blacklisted in our registry. No future run of the system can produce that same image. This is enforced at the database level, not by policy.
What is a basin?
A basin is a generative world seeded from a single practitioner meditation session. Each basin contains six intention faces — Health, Motivation, Harmony, Courage, Peace, Protection — each face holding 121 unique navigable coordinates. With up to 10 rotation siblings per coordinate, a single basin holds over 7,000 unique claimable addresses. No two basins share a seed; no two coordinates within a basin produce the same image.
What are the six fields?
Health, Motivation, Harmony, Courage, Peace, and Protection. These are not themes applied to the artwork after the fact — they are the intention states the practitioner held during the meditation session that generated the seed. Each field produces a genuinely distinct visual territory with different geometry, colour relationships, and felt quality.
What is the Drift?
Each basin has a clock speed — weekly, monthly, or seasonal. At each tick the generative date salt rotates, causing the basin's images to shift. The same coordinate at a different time of year produces a related but distinct image. Your postcode records the clock state at time of purchase, so your specific image is tied to both position and moment.
What are siblings?
Each coordinate has up to 10 rotation siblings — the same position viewed at 36° increments (0°, 36°, 72°, ..., 324°) through the intention field. Each rotation produces a distinct image; these are not copies or reprints. They are issued one at a time: the first purchase claims 0°, the next 36°, and so on until the coordinate is exhausted. Once all siblings are sold, that address is permanently closed.
Can I buy multiple formats of the same image?
No. Each coordinate issues one print. The first purchase retires that slot — the image is rendered, produced, and the address is permanently closed. If you want a poster and a sticker, that would require two separate coordinates from the same intention field.
Who generates the seeds?
A practitioner enters a specific intention state — one of the six fields — and holds that state through a structured meditation session. The session parameters are encoded into the generative seed at that moment. The practitioner does not design the images; they establish the coherence conditions from which the images emerge.
Is this AI art?
It is generative art produced using a latent diffusion model. The difference lies in how it is used: the model is the instrument, and the practitioner's intention determines where in the latent space the image is drawn from. The meaningful distinction is not the tool — it is the origin. Where the seed came from, and what was held when it was planted.
How do I get a piece?
Two ways. The curated store lists ready-to-buy pieces selected from across the active basins — choose one, pick your format, and you're taken straight to checkout. Alternatively, you can navigate the field yourself: browse the intention grid, select a coordinate that draws you, configure your product type and finish, and the image is rendered fresh from your address before you confirm purchase. Either way, your coordinate is retired the moment it is claimed.
What print quality can I expect?
Images are rendered at the resolution required for the format you choose — from 1024px for small stickers up to 11,000px for large posters. Wall art is printed on fine art paper or stretched canvas by specialist UK print providers. Stickers are die-cut vinyl.
Where do you ship?
We currently ship within the United Kingdom. International shipping is planned. Print fulfilment is handled by UK-based print providers; delivery is typically 2–5 business days.
Can I verify my postcode?
Yes. Your postcode encodes your basin slug, workflow hash, face, sub-basin coordinates, sibling index, practitioner seed tag, and clock state. A verification tool is in development. In the meantime the postcode is human-readable — each segment is documented in the provenance page on your order.
