- core/strategies/surreal: eight generator modes taken from how Magritte,
Ernst, Dali, Varo, Uelsmann, Atget and Man Ray worked, feeding one critic
(seeded code, or one LLM call). One anomaly stated as plain physical fact
against a credible world, chosen for affinity rather than distance; count
capped at 2. Output: brief, instruction block, why trace, title,
counter-terms.
- Surreal Premise node; plugs into every enhancer's wildcard_instructions.
Anomaly survival is measurable with the Concept Survival Check.
- The surreal preset (video nodes) and genre_style = surreal (Text-to-Image)
route through the engine instead of style words; fail-soft to the old text.
- Lists in wildcards/surreal, personal iconography.yaml template,
docs/SURREAL_GUIDE.md, dev/verify_surreal.py (78 checks).
