Turing machine impersonation???
Brad,
There is still something very computery about your prolix posts. A little feel of Burroughs cutups. Wonder if you use computer assisted word substitutions or phrases. Sometimes sound like a human imitating a turing machine. Sometimes a person there but sometimes pure random generation like a program operating on the material. I suspect a dry parody of academe, perhaps?
​
peace,
lfen

A new kind of science?
Yaro,
Thanks for the lead. Now I'm reading a Steven Levy Wired interview with Stephen Wolfram. Has there been any discussion of A New Kind of Science here?

Is there a possiblity that Brad's writing is somehow connected to Wolfram's theories? I'm beginning to feel like a character in a Pynchon novel. I may be on to something then again not but the mystery only grows thicker as the prolix grows denser.
