Beautiful! A “relations of writing” perspective starts to appear, when you write: “All we have to do is run the text through a program …” Suddenly, you (Erin) appear as the thinker/writer, writing in relation to us readers. We also get a sense of how “we” are making something happen (especially in your expression of your thinking in relation to our reading), something that has physical/social consequences. (A “relations of writing” perspective comes from the historian of writing, Armando Petrucci). THANK YOU for all this amazing writing around poetic feeling and LLMs!

Stephanie! Thanks for your wonderful comment, it's fascinating to think about the social layer of this writing project that is unfolding alongside a consideration of the semantic space of LLMs. I confess, I am exploring topics far beyond my depth, but it's been fun. I will look up Armando Petrucci, his work sounds intriguing. I appreciate you connecting the dots for me and cheering on my little project! <3

Erin, for your next trick, please write a poem about a vectors journey from number string into semantic space.
