After a weekend away from my computer I need to catch-up on the previous few puzzles but I decided to tackle today’s because it looked interesting (and involved outputting more than just an answer.
Unlike @sasajuric I decided to take a chance and assumed that the universe would contract to form the word and then expand so I check for when the next layout’s bounds are bigger to get the word (I really didn’t consider it expanding!). I suppose that the safe compromise might be to do the first adjustment and see if the universe expands or contracts and then follow that pattern.
Anyway, my code is here.
