[alicebot-general] Dramatica: A New Theory of Story

[Dirk Scheuring]

Chris, I understand what your driving at; I just don't need to go that deep for my purposes. You may need your recursion to happen at the bit level; my job is about recursion at the byte level (defaulting to ASCII is arguably part of the definition of a writer). I'm not trying to replicate the human mind, I'm just doing text manipulation. Since because I'm a writer, and not a scientist, and I don't have to account for any "natural laws", the level of resolution that the Dramatica language offers suffices for me. Your point may be relevant for other lines of work; it's just the wrong horse for my particular course.

Dirk
