socialfiction.org: Generator X - Software wants to loop forever.

Socialfiction call themselves: carthographic sadism, gabber avant-gardism, experimental knowledge, DIY urbanism, autonomous spacetravel, gymnosophistic delight, disco socialism, peripatetic hedonism. And that bold attitude is also visible in their texts. I suggest to read Generator X: Software Wants to Loop Forever, where they place code right next to Oracle Bones and generic generators. “A programmer is a selector of rules, a composer of conditions, a constructor of restraints. It is easier for an object to fall down than to be carried upwards. Gravity is the generator, the programmer the levitationist.”

and

“Generative systems are complex generators packed with inner loops and filters which once composed can generate all legal statements in the specific domain the generator generates: anagrams, correct English sentences, suffix trees, conceptual universes built with symbols, sounds or pixels. Once the hard work of generating exactly what you want to generate is accomplished, a generator becomes a black box, a force of nature in your computational playground that no longer needs you and which only when badly coded can be forced to go Super Nova.”
