Roughly: a symmetry group governs combinations of elements (characters, moods, locations, etc) for each chapter: these are then used as elements to drive a text generator.

This is just a vague idea which may change once I start actually coding.

• [x] Symmetry group generator - based on https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/six.html
• [x] Decide on a theme - the heteronyms of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessao
• [x] Write heteronym persona-templates
• [x] Write poem or first line templates
• [x] Write vocab lists
• [x] Finish off generator
• [x] Publish results
