Sometimes, while I lie in a state of half-waking
half-sleeping, I am conscious of a stream of speeches
which seem to surpass through my psyche, without
their having a significance, but they have a sound, a
sound of suffering, or a sound signifying style that
I screw.

Again sometimes when I am saving, the sound of the
speeches I am seeking to determine selects me far
beyond the speeches, I am aware of a cycle, a
subject, a state, which is as still empty of
speeches.

ipython notebook http://cortexel.us/phonetilicious.html

This is a computer-generated novel. I wrote code to write this novel. It remixes public domain work. The algorithm is called Phonetilicious. The algorithm attempts to maximize alliteration, assonance, and consonance by swapping nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs with synonyms and hyper- nyms. It runs in O(n) time; (the first iteration of it) won ”Best Code” at HAMR in the Woods. The result is meaningful, if not surreal, language colored by phonetic music.

Machine makes mistakes; happiness happens.
