i.plot
Chaos Engines and Hidden Relationships
i.plot investigates the future of narrative by studying the hidden relationships and contextual emergence of language. The goal is to generate interactive literature and scripts for interactive cinema. One of i.plot's innovations--Inspiration Space--is its ability to determine that a connection between two words exists...It finds several connections between the words by tracing a large set of possible paths between them, so that the paths traverse several two-word connections. If the chaos engine is in an appropriate state, a preference may be added so that longer paths are displayed, or so that the paths are forced to connect through a more distantly connected word. The user may further expand the connections of any word of interest...
