CUCI (cut-up / code-in) is primarily an experiment in language and programming. Individual word-units are at the meme mercy of systematic thesaurus look-ups in a fashion similar to the 'human' process. Whereas softmachines are prejudiced, the logic-board is not. I thought how interesting it was that when you write a text message, the predictive engine sometimes arrives at a word pertinent to the content while not the one you were looking for. I since had read a lot of William Burroughs and became interested in the cut-up / fold-in techniques he and other authors had used to add a certain unpredictability to their narratives. A process that added, removed and warped meaning, creating 'new' structures otherwise outside of the typical writing process.
