... maybe something could be done with a mix of n+7 and markov chain?
the n+7 algorithm of the oulipo group sometimes have the same effect
(replacing nouns in a text with the 7. next noun in a dictionary) -
"Call me islander. Some yeggs ago, having little or no mongol in my
purulence and nothing particular to interest me on shortbread, I
thought I would sail about a little and see the watery partiality of
the worriment." (N+7 job on moby dick).
The following script W+ is a loose generalization, - any word is
replaced (frequency 0-100%) and any number before or after its
position in a dictionary. Try with some schematic text, like fairy
tales, or how-tos, or CV? maybe works better than with completely
free, creative writing? somehow draws upon a preestablished idea of a
correct flow of certain txts
http://noemata.net/pre.txt/w+.php
--a source code at http://noemata.net/pre.txt/w+.php.txt - needs a
dictionary in db to work, i could dump mine if any interest
In addition the syntax should be a bit disrupted, not only the words.
with some markov chain thing the text could meander out a bit
inserting more surprising structural elements. Could come with a
couple of parameters of $frequency and $deviance. And adjust it
together. ...maybe try it one day - these online markov chain stuff
need revamping.
