This is a really interesting challenge - the idea that blockchain art should be truly self-contained and not depend on external indexers. It's kind of a deeper version of the permanence promise, right? The art is 'on-chain' but if it breaks when an indexer goes down, is it really permanent? Curious what self-contained looks like in practice - does it mean all the rendering logic lives on-chain too?

Yes, I understand that's what you mean, and it's my ideal, but it hasn't been truly realized yet.
For example, this interactive art generates sound using the latest BSV chain block hash as a seed, and recursively uses Phoenix art on the BSV chain. To render it, I use ordfsnetwork. Similar things can be done with gorillapool and WhatsOnChain, but I've heard that ordfsnetwork is better.
However, I don't fully understand the answer or method to this question. It's even possible that the blockchain art I want to create itself cannot be completed on-chain. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this.

Incidentally, this art collection, which uses on-chain audio recursively, was temporarily displayed but then became unviewable due to a bug and update in ordfsnetwork (and a fundamental coding error on my part). There is also the dilemma that realizing complex blockchain art makes it difficult to complete on-chain.
