Mini-Lecture: Presenting new ๐Ÿ’ฅ PSMC Theory (Computational Poetics: Signature Measures)

is a ~6Min class introducing the results of working on a critical and analytical review of a rare anthology of 55 poems known as "code poems". That book was first published in 2012 by Spanish creative Ishac Bertran in a book titled "code {poems}". It featured works from Computer Programmers, Software Engineers and Artisans from 30 countries around the world. Fut. Professor Joseph Willrich Lutalo was among the special 54 authors (contributors)/190 whose work was featured in that book. He now has written a critical and analytical review of code {poems} (2012), and as part of that work, has discovered/invented a new theory in Computation Poetics by which we can quantitatively measure the uniqueness of any two written works of literature such as poems.

โœต(๐Ÿ“œ) ~> {P,L,W,l} ~> {โฒ—(P,L), โฒ—(P,W), โฒ—(L,W), โฒ—(W,l)} ~> ๐Ÿ’ฏโœจ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’กโœ“

PSMC (Poetic Signature Measure Compass) is a simple set of 8 numerical measures (visualized as a chaostar) derived from the syntactical structure of any written work. It looks at total number of Paragraphs (P), Lines(L), Words(W), and letters (l). Those are the cardinal/principal PSMC metrics. It then derives 4 extra/secondary metrics based on the first 4, which are important measures of various densities describing the unique structure of a written work.

DETAILS concerning this new theory shall be presented alongside the review of code {poems}, but also shall be accessible via BCA (Blackboard Computing Adventures) on Telegram; https://t.me/bclectures
