yes, this blank frames...something's not seeding right?

Re: word source (pinker, chomsky, etc...)
>
um, yes...
i agree, actually===of course, i could hide behind the idea that this is nothing like a finished work===whatever a finished work is===but i simply must confess that i could not even BEGIN to code in a way that would make the computer recognize grammatical rules, much less phonetic custom===though someday i'd love to do it===
i definitely agree w/ your comment on "more than the demo features"===at times i feel stuck in that mode, and i'm still relatively new to much of this (i've only been writing code for little over a year, been working in flash and actionscript less...)...
hmmm...i'll have to reply to this when i'm in a more serious mode...this is thought-provoking!

word source
==this is the source code for word===would welcome any
suggestions on this, specifically on how to write a
function to randomize the word output in
strings===like, how to get the piece to write a poem
like this, with the words all randomly generated==i
tried one variant, but could only get the piece to
output the same word in a row (the poem ended up being
repetitions of the same word)====
*************************
//actionscript function by Lewis LaCook July 5 2002
//randomize the timer for seeding
random(getTimer);
//declare the character arrays
Vowel=new Array ( )
Vowel[0]="a"
