Sentence Evolution - A Language Evolution Experiment

Your chance to join infinite monkies at infinite keyboards to, perhaps, rewrite the works of Shakespeare :)

The Sentence (Read “The Idea” and post your version of the sentence here)

READ THE BLOG ENTITLED “THE IDEA” BEFORE PROCEEDING!

Here is the sentence that shall begin it all. Remember, click comments above and stick to the Three Rules as you post your interpretation of the last posted version of the sentence. Multiple attempts are encouraged. You are ready to take your first step into language evolution now :)

    “Whatever you had in mind, I think, we can all shake hands? Agree that it is a relative. Safe bet that it was not as dull as this.”

  2. davidsealey says:

    “You had in mind, I think, that we can all shake hands? Agreed, it isn’t a relative; that it was not as dull as this safe bet.”

  3. MoodyMoo says:

    In a dull mind we can all shake hands. I think you are a relative. Is this a safe bet?

  4. Liz S says:

    You are a dull relative – in a mood – I think! Can we all shake hands if this is a safe bet?

  5. davidsealey says:

    Can I think in a mood? Hands shake; you are a dull ache. I bet this is all relative if we are safe.

  6. TroostAvenue says:

    You had in mind, I think, that we can all shake hands? Agreed, she isn’t a native; that it was not as dull as this safe bet.

  7. TroostAvenue says:

    You had in mind, I think, that we can all shake hands? Agreed, she isn’t a native, it was not as dull as his safe bet.

  8. TroostAvenue says:

    QUESTION: Are we allowed to move words around in the sentence? I don’t think so. I went back and started with the second iteration.

  9. TroostAvenue says:

    You had in mind, I think, that we can all shake hands? Agreed, she isn’t a native. Shit. It was not as safe as his safe bet.

  10. TroostAvenue says:

    ANOTHER QUESTION; We are invited to contribute multiple times, but in succession. I just did that, but is that consistent with the purpose? If you think not, or do not agree with my previous comment, go back to what you think is the most appropriate starting point, but we all do need to be consistent in our interpretation of the original three rules. COMMENTS WOULD BE WELCOMED

  11. davidsealey says:

    I believe what you did to be correct as I also believe that not much could actually be incorrect. The simple rules are key, but it is the minor shifts, the gremlins in the work, that form the complex systems. Good stuff so far everybody, spread the word. The more contributors, the better this will be :)

  12. TroostAvenue says:

    I sounds like you just threw out all your rules if you say not much could actually be incorrect. If you allow the shifting around of words in the sentence you are changing your experimental design. Is this a real experiment or isn’t it? I won’t play if others don’t follow the stated rules.

  13. TroostAvenue says:

    You had in mind, I think, that we can all shake, agree she isn’t a native. Shit, it was not as safe as his safe bet.

  14. TroostAvenue says:

    You had in mind, I think, that be can all agree, she is not a native. Shit, this was not as safe as his safe bet.

  15. TroostAvenue says:

    You had in mind, I think, that we can all agree, she is not a native. Shit, this was not safe, not as his safe bet.

  16. TroostAvenue says:

    You had in mind, I think, that we can all agree, she is not a native. Shit, this was not safe, not a safe bet.

  17. TroostAvenue says:

    You had in mind, I think, that we can all agree, she is not a native. Shit, this was dangerous, not a safe bet.

  18. TroostAvenue says:

    You had in mind, I think, that we can all agree, she is not a native. Shit, this was dangerous, not safe at all.

  19. TroostAvenue says:

    You had in mind, I think, that we can all agree, she is not a human. Shit, this is dangerous, not safe at all.

  20. TroostAvenue says:

    You had in mind, I think, that we all agree she is alien, not a human. Shit, this is dangerous, not safe at all.

  21. TroostAvenue says:

    What you had in mind, I think, we all agree. She is alien, not a human. Shit, this is dangerous, not safe at all.

  22. davidsealey says:

    Very good indeed! I didn’t ever say you couldn’t move the words around, there are three rules yes, but the point is to rewrite the sentence. You have proven above that the system can produce intriguing results and I like the pure nature of your data :) Keep posting. I too shall keep to this new linear format, I like a challenge!

  23. davidsealey says:

    What you had in mind, I think, we all agreed is wrong. She is alien, not a human. Shit, this is dangerous, not safe at all.

  24. davidsealey says:

    “What you had in mind, I think, we all agreed is wrong. She is alien, not human.”

    “Shit, this is dangerous. Earth’s not safe at all. I’m…”

  25. davidsealey says:

    “What you had in mind, I think, we’re all agreed, is wrong. She is alien, not human.”

    “Shit, this is dangerous. Earth’s not safe at all. I’m leaving!”

  26. MrBond says:

    “What you had in mind, I think, we’re all agreed, isn’t wrong. She is, however, alien…not human.”

    “Shit, this is dangerous. Earth’s not safe at all. I’m leaving!”

  27. TroostAvenue says:

    What you had in mind, I think, we’re all agreed, is wrong. She is alien, not human. But shit, she is dangerous. Earth’s not safe at all. I’m leaving.

  28. TroostAvenue says:

    What you had in mind, I think, we’re all agreed, is wrong. She is alien, not human, but she is beautiful. Earth’s not safe at all. I’m leaving.
