| ''This would essentially use the random-select process to pick one of the chunks to be the 'structure text'. The other texts would be used as part-of-speech substitution databases. Having a static 'structure text' could also be interesting. We could do several iterations of the same structure, each with different substitutions. An ad nauseam chapter or "Chomsky Variations".'' | ''This would essentially use the random-select process to pick one of the chunks to be the 'structure text'.
