I think computers have to follow rules, or "routines," as in sub code sub
root command routine.
Routines are the basis of every practiced, skilled human art or faculty.
Violent rage, psychosis, etc., are symptoms of injury and not lack of craft.
Crafting routines for the new computer millennium.
Botting hopper-script-routines for all and sundry and accompanying fine
outcomes.
Excuse me, I meant hopper-routines viz the cosmic database.
Oh excuse me, did I say cosmic database? In four dimensions? I meant
history and craft and art assets of every type, like soda.
To me, soda is a God of mighty vengeance.
May all govern well,

Er ah, I support the rule that says no academicspeak intros or cluttering
drivel. For me, that's the big junket of academic hacks, orwell warned about
them as hard as he could.
No Intros, what rule is that?
Think of net.art as poetry pure and simple. What characterizes boring
insipid arts or cliche and crapola? Then make 6 Rules against them. Orwell
himself made a list of prescriptive rules for worthwhile prose–it had to
avoid a list of pitfalls including academic jargon, dead metaphors, cliche,
and bad usage, he was a stickler for usage, orwell.
