  "abstract": "Most three-dimensional generative models represent object synthesis as the sampling or optimization of a global shape representation, such as a point cloud, voxel grid, polygonal mesh, neural implicit field, or collection of three-dimensional primitives. This paper proposes Additive Growth Generation (AGG), a constructive framework in which a three-dimensional object emerges through a sequence of explicit addition operations. Rather than requiring the complete geometry to be generated simultaneously, AGG maintains an evolving partial object and repeatedly selects an addition action, including the type, position, orientation, scale, attributes, and attachment configuration of a candidate unit. A learned growth controller conditions these decisions on the current partial geometry, the target specification, local structural context, and global completion requirements. The framework supports variable-cardinality representations, multiple unit granularities, and alternative geometric decoders. Its central formulation separates the decision to add a unit from the representation used to encode the resulting object. This separation enables the same constructive process to operate over particles, surface elements, volumetric cells, geometric primitives, or larger structural components. We define a probabilistic transition model, a multi-objective training formulation, structural validity constraints, and an evaluation protocol for geometric fidelity, growth efficiency, structural consistency, and controllability. Potential applications include generative design, crystal-like structures, additive manufacturing, and procedurally constructed objects. This manuscript presents a proposed framework rather than a validated empirical result. Its novelty and effectiveness must be established through implementation, comparative experiments, and further investigation of related constructive generation methods.",
