## How to Generate More Iterations

### Generating Iterations 6-12 (Intermediate Level)

To continue with intermediate-level visualizations (textures, controls, particles):

**Manual Agent Deployment:**

```javascript
// Deploy 7 agents for iterations 6-12
// Each focuses on intermediate techniques:
// - Iteration 6: Texture mapping
// - Iteration 7: OrbitControls interaction
// - Iteration 8: Advanced particles
// - Iteration 9: Geometry manipulation
// - Iteration 10: Post-processing (bloom)
// - Iteration 11: Object hierarchies
// - Iteration 12: Advanced lighting
```

**Command Pattern:**
The `/project:infinite-web` command is not yet registered, but you can manually deploy agents using the Task tool with the same pattern we used today.

### Example: Generate Iteration 6 (Texture Mapping)

```javascript
Task({
    subagent_type: "general-purpose",
    description: "Three.js viz 6: Texture mapping",
    prompt: `
    **TASK: Generate Three.js Visualization #6 - Intermediate Level**

    **Learning Focus:** Texture loading, UV mapping, normal maps

### Scaling to 20+ Iterations

**Batch Deployment Strategy:**

1. **Iterations 1-5:** Foundation (✅ Complete)
2. **Iterations 6-12:** Intermediate (7 agents)
   - Deploy in 2 waves: 4 agents, then 3 agents
3. **Iterations 13-18:** Advanced (6 agents)
   - Custom shaders, GLSL, advanced techniques
4. **Iterations 19-25:** Expert (7+ agents)
   - WebGPU, ocean shaders, compute particles

### Infinite Mode Concept

For continuous generation until context limits:

1. **Wave 1** (5 agents): Foundation techniques ✅
2. **Wave 2** (4 agents): Intermediate textures/controls
3. **Wave 3** (4 agents): Intermediate particles/post-processing
4. **Wave 4** (3 agents): Advanced shaders
5. **Wave 5** (3 agents): Advanced materials/lighting
6. **Wave 6+**: Expert WebGPU and cutting-edge techniques

## The Web-Enhanced Pattern

### Core Concept

The Web-Enhanced Infinite Agentic Loop pattern extends the original infinite loop by adding **progressive web-based learning** where each iteration:

1. **Fetches** a specific web resource (documentation, example, tutorial)
2. **Learns** 1-3 specific techniques from that source
3. **Applies** the learning to create unique visualization
4. **Documents** the web source and what was learned

### Key Phases

#### Phase 0: Initial Web Priming
- Fetch 3-5 foundational resources before any generation
- Build mental model of the domain (Three.js fundamentals)
- Extract core concepts, patterns, best practices
- Synthesize into comprehensive knowledge base

#### Phase 1: Specification + Web Context Analysis
- Read specification file (threejs_visualization_progressive.md)
- Parse URL strategy file (threejs_url_strategy.json)
- Understand how web research enhances each iteration
- Plan web integration strategy

#### Phase 2: Directory Reconnaissance + URL Tracking
- Analyze existing output directory
- Track which URLs have been used (avoid duplication)
- Build USED_URLS list from file footers/comments
- Identify knowledge gaps for new web research

#### Phase 3: Web-Enhanced Iteration Strategy
- Map iteration numbers to URL difficulty levels
- Assign specific web sources to each planned iteration
- Ensure progressive difficulty curve
- Plan both pre-defined URLs and dynamic search fallback

#### Phase 4: Parallel Web-Enhanced Agent Coordination
Each agent receives:
- **Spec Context**: Full specification + priming knowledge
- **Web Assignment**: Specific URL to fetch and learn from
- **Used URLs List**: Prevent duplication
- **Iteration Number**: Unique identifier
- **Integration Directive**: How to synthesize web learning

#### Phase 5: Web Integration Quality Assurance
- Verify web source attribution in each file
- Validate that learning was actually applied (not just cited)
- Check for genuine improvement evidence
- Ensure spec compliance maintained
- Confirm uniqueness across all iterations

### Progressive URL Difficulty Strategy

```
Foundation (1-5)      → Basic concepts, scene setup
     ↓
Intermediate (6-12)   → Textures, controls, particles
     ↓
Advanced (13-18)      → Custom shaders, GLSL, physics
     ↓
Expert (19+)          → WebGPU, compute shaders, ocean effects
```

### Advantages Over Original Pattern

1. **Knowledge Accumulation**: Each iteration builds on web discoveries
2. **Progressive Sophistication**: Natural complexity curve
3. **Real-World Learning**: Uses actual documentation and examples
4. **Quality Sources**: Curated URLs ensure valuable learnings
5. **Documentation**: Clear attribution enables learning from code
6. **Uniqueness**: Different URLs guarantee different approaches
