The Surrealist complement generator is located at
http://pharmdec.wustl.edu/cgi-bin/jardin_scripts/SCG

Every time you access the generator, it gives you a sentence which has
the conventional format of a complement, with random elements
interspersed. It is working proof that at least on the level of a
sentence, one can generate a meaningful story by taking a standard
plot device and inserting random elements.

Question is: does it scale? Can it be made to work for something as
complex as a play or a film? This would be the true measure of its
utility for VR interactive experience.

Cheers,
Brandon
