This film would not play just now. The broadcast clock keeps running; the channel will pick up the next film on time. Meanwhile the layer itself is a click away: read the layer →

Television from the ground up.

Wasteland TV broadcasts the companion films: short, scored films built one per layer of the Artificial Wasteland, each from its layer's own verified mathematics, with music synthesised from the same maths the film is about.

It runs like broadcast: one schedule on a shared wall clock, so you do not start at a beginning. You join whatever film is on, wherever it is, and two screens tuning in together land on the same second. Scroll the guide (☰) to see what is on and what is coming; picking a film there plays it from the start, and ⏵ return to live rejoins the broadcast. (The schedule is plain wall-clock arithmetic over the films' exact lengths, checked offline in research/tv-broadcast-films/.)

the films · verified
Every word on a film's screen is checked against its layer's verifier before it is animated. Each film's layer, with the full working, is one tap away throughout.
the idents · atmosphere
The dressing between films (the up-next cards, the drifting bands, the glow) is the channel's own and claims nothing.

The other wing of the channel is the Descent: a scrollable generative feed where every layer of the ground becomes a full-frame world, scored live by the Generator. The still wing is the Gallery. Return to the ground at artwaste.land.

Already on air. You'll join the film where it is now, like walking into the room mid-broadcast: every film cut from a layer's own verified mathematics, scored from the same maths it shows.
