Description

This algorithmi artwork, Genesis 6, is derived from an article examining surgical approaches to carpal tunnel release—open versus endoscopic techniques. The algorithm detected tension as the dominant emotion, visualized through compressed branching structures radiating from a central trunk, suggestive of pressure within confined anatomical spaces. The density of branching mirrors both the physical compression of the median nerve and the layered complexity of surgical decision-making. Yet, the human reading of the same article evokes confidence: evidence-based clarity in outcomes, and the steady assurance of established surgical pathways. This divergence highlights a known limitation of deterministic systems—here misclassifying the article under shoulder and elbow subspecialty rather than hand and upper extremity. Such errors, while unintended, underscore the evolving dialogue between algorithmic perception and human expertise. This piece embodies not only the anatomy of the carpal tunnel but also the anatomy of interpretation itself—a negotiation between machine logic and clinical understanding, between tension and confidence.
