That doesn't sound entirely trivial? Like a physical quine.

Let S be the original specification.

Let F(S) be the specification with steganography applied. The steganography ensures that there is a Finv that can be induced from F(S) and such that Finv(F(S)) = S.

You print F(S).

The receiver scans the object F(S) and computes S.

From there you can repeat the process.
