A project meant to compare and contrast shapes that reflect informational structures in language.
Similarities are grouped, anomalies are set aside and studied.
Things that can’t be inherently measured can be flagged and added to the overall “shape database”.
Chickenscratch isn’t one specific cha...
(This is a poor example; but should get across the gist)
/ \ / \ / will represent the stress
Upwards means stressed and downwards means unstressed;
We can place a small horizontal band on each slash
To mark which word starts with what letter;
Then for syntax we can make a slash wavy if it is a verb
Or Bold if it is a noun... etc
You would have a system that saves Geometrical shapes that stand for sentences;
So when you write a new sentence it translates that into a geometrical shape
Then checks existing geometrical shapes and pulls up similar ones!!
Reworking project for more plausible application with "control flow" in annotations.
Another iteration of a more interesting project:
WOAH... what if we codified linguistic information as fractal... where self similarity represents semantic resonance between the individual word, sentence, paragraph, and the whole?
