The artwork puts 2 or more notes in a trial sequence, which it submits to a jury of virtual agents for evaluation. One agent might detect a match with the start of the coda’s first theme, while another might suggest transposing a note three tones down to match its end. The program then weighs these judgments before creating the next trial sequence. This process repeats until all 5 themes are found.

Enlightenment displays these procedures in 2 bars of notation. The lower bar shows the re-editing of a sequence as notes are added, deleted, transposed, contracted or extended; accompanying notations indicate why a given operation was made. The upper bar then tracks the audio playback of the resulting new sequence. When a correct note or phrase is found, the artwork shows the instrument playing it.
