Unbounded: A Generative Infinite Game of Character Life Simulation

For the curious, here's the 15 citation primer I sent off to the Google team upon request. The list is too long for alt text but if anyone wants me to send them a plain text version I'm happy to.
Thankfully, I've now had a chance to review the authors' update based on my feedback, which addresses my concerns pretty well! Glad to see the incorporation of my feedback.
