How do you think this was made?

I've found this artwork very inspiring and I am struggling to understand how it was made
It kinda looks like some kind of datamosh but the subtle blends and whispers makes me think there some other techniques involved.

Any idea?

How to ensure validity of generated content

Hi all,

I guess this question is mainly addressed to researchers in the field of PCG, particularly the ones working on game design.

I am currently working on a PCG problem using reinforcement learning, and where I have to create new levels of a given game - let's say that the game some form of Mario bros.

My agent can position building blocks in the environment, following some trivial constraints. But of course, these trivial constraints cannot be perfect nor complete. Combining building blocks, which is what makes the levels more interesting, comes at the cost of making it harder to ensure validity of the levels.

By validity I mean, in the context of Mario, whether the level can actually be completed by a player.

My question is the following: what are typical methods in the research field to tackle this problem of ensuring generation validity? I understand very well that every game will have a specific way of tackling this (e.g. solving this problem for PCG on Maze is a different problem than solving it for Mario), but I was curious to know if there are common strategies, or some paper that review this specific issue in PCG research.

Hope that was clear, and thanks in advance!
