From: Gerson.Kurz@t-online.de (Gerson Kurz) Subject: [.Gertrude Stein] Text below Date: Thu, 3 May 2001 21:27:56 +0100 ".Getrude Stein" is a new programming language named after the writer (which I happen to like). Actually, its less of a language and more of a language encoding. The idea is simple: the code consists of regular sentences of any kind of natural language. For each sentence, an average word length is calculated (and rounded up/down). Words that are exactly as long as the average word are ignored. For the other words, a ratio [words longer than average]/[words smaller than average] is calculated and used as an instruction index. (For instance, the ratio 4/1 could be the add instruction and so on). Sentences that contain ! or ? are ignored and can be used as comments. Numbers are encoded as ratios of the form 1/x , then decoded as (int)(1/(1/x)). I think programming in this encoding should be *quite* difficult, because you have the "unenforced" restriction that the sentences should be proper english (or German, or Swaheli or whatever) sentences. [So, cheating aka using "xxx" as word is not allowed]. Maybe one can enforce as restriction some language heuristics (e.g. not too many of the same character in one word etc.]

"Hello World
From: Gerson.Kurz@t-online.de (Gerson Kurz) Subject: [.Gertrude] [Long] Hello, World Date: Sat, 5 May 2001 11:04:01 +0100
The following is a -working- version of "Hello, World" in .Gertrude. All sentences are taken either from the 1914 text "Tender Buttons" by Gertrude Stein, available online at http://www.bartleby.com/140/1.html, or from Kants Critique of Pure Reason. The interpreter for this fine sourcecode will be available for downloading on my site tomorrow. I'm looking for great online texts to turn into .gertrude sourcecode, so if you have suggestions, shoot.
Code:
Winged to be winged means that white is yellow and pieces pieces that are brown are dust color if dust is washed off then it is choice that is to say it is fitting cigarettes sooner than paper. A CARAFE THAT IS A BLIND GLASS. Suppose they are put together suppose that there is an interruption supposing that beginning again they are not changed as to position suppose all this and suppose that any five two of whom are not separating suppose that the five are not consumed. Cut more than any other and show it. He would have been peculiarly well fitted to give a truly scientific character to metaphysical studies had it occurred to him to prepare the field by a criticism of the organum that is of pure reason itself. The difference is spreading. A sight a whole sight and a little groan grinding makes a trimming such a sweet singing trimming and a red thing not a round thing but a white thing a red thing and a white thing. A little called anything shows shudders. But an thought must directly or indirectly by means of certain signs relate ultimately to intuitions; consequently with us to sensibility because in no other way can an object be given to us. Nickel what is nickel it is originally rid of a cover. Why is a pale white not paler than blue why is a connection made by a stove why is the example which is mentioned not shown to be the same why is there no adjustment between the place and the separate attention. What is the sash like. " But the category of substance when the conception of a body is brought under it determines that; and its empirical intuition in experience must be contemplated always as subject and never as mere predicate. The change in that is that red weakens an hour. But motion considered as the description of a space is a pure act of the successive synthesis of the manifold in external intuition by means of productive imagination and belongs not only to geometry but even to transcendental philosophy. A widow in a wise veil and more garments shows that shadows are even. A plain hill one is not that which is not white and red and green a plain hill makes no sunshine it shows that without a disturber. We cannot cogitate a geometrical line without drawing it in thought nor a circle without describing it nor represent the three dimensions of space without drawing three lines from the same point perpendicular to one another. There is no search. Principles a priori are so called not merely because they contain in themselves the grounds of other judgements but also because they themselves are not grounded in higher and more general cognitions. But there is there is that hope and that interpretation and sometime surely any is unwelcome sometime there is breath and there will be a sinecure and charming very charming is that clean and cleansing. A plan a hearty plan a compressed disease and no coffee not even a card or a change to incline each way a plan that has that excess and that break is the one that shows filling. Cutting shade cool spades and little last beds make violet violet when. It is very remarkable that we cannot perceive the possibility of a thing from the category alone but must always have an intuition by which to make evident the objective reality of the pure conception of the understanding. There can be breakages in Japanese. A plan a hearty plan a compressed disease and no coffee not even a card or a change to incline each way a plan that has that excess and that break is the one that shows filling. Cutting shade cool spades and little last beds make violet violet when. Mathematical axioms (for example there can be only one straight line between two points) are general a priori cognitions and are therefore rightly denominated principles relatively to the cases which can be subsumed under them. That is no color chosen. A plan a hearty plan a compressed disease and no coffee not even a card or a change to incline each way a plan that has that excess and that break is the one that shows filling. Cutting shade cool spades and little last beds make violet violet when. If we employ our reason not merely in the application of the principles of the understanding to objects of experience but venture with it beyond these boundaries there arise certain sophistical propositions or theorems. It was chosen yesterday that showed spitting and perhaps washing and polishing. A plan a hearty plan a compressed disease and no coffee not even a card or a change to incline each way a plan that has that excess and that break is the one that shows filling. Cutting shade cool spades and little last beds make violet violet when. As regards the second statement let us first take the opposite for granted- that the world is finite and limited in space; it follows that it must exist in a void space which is not limited. The change of color is likely and a difference a very little difference is prepared. A plan a hearty plan a compressed disease and no coffee not even a card or a change to incline each way a plan that has that excess and that break is the one that shows filling. The lamp and the cake are not the only sign of stone. But if you do not take care at the outset or at least midway to make men good you will never force them into an honest belief. The assertor of the all-sufficiency of nature in regard to causality (transcendental Physiocracy) in opposition to the doctrine of freedom would defend his view of the question somewhat in the following manner. Callous is something that hardening leaves behind what will be soft if there is a genuine interest in there being present as many girls as men. We must seek the cause of our failure in our idea itself which is an insoluble problem and in regard to which we obstinately assume that there exists a real object corresponding and adequate to it. It shows that dirt is clean when there is a volume. A plan a hearty plan a compressed disease and no coffee not even a card or a change to incline each way a plan that has that excess and that break is the one that shows filling. The place was shown to be very like the last time. If we say of a thing that in relation to some other thing it is too large or too small the former is considered as existing for the sake of the latter and requiring to be adapted to it. A cushion has that cover. A plan a hearty plan a compressed disease and no coffee not even a card or a change to incline each way a plan that has that excess and that break is the one that shows filling. Choose the rate to pay and pet pet very much. But if you do not take care at the outset or at least midway to make men good you will never force them into an honest belief. The principle of an unbroken connection between all events in the phenomenal world in accordance with the unchangeable laws of nature is a well-established principle of transcendental analytic which admits of no exception. A circle of fine card board and a chance to see a tassel. But if you do not take care at the outset or at least midway to make men good you will never force them into an honest belief. But still further removed than the idea from objective reality is the Ideal by which term I understand the idea not in concreto but in individuo- as an individual thing determinable or determined by the idea alone. The question does not come before there is a quotation. On the contrary this idea serves merely to indicate a certain unattainable perfection and rather limits the operations than by the presentation of new objects extends the sphere of the understanding. In any kind of place there is a top to covering and it is a pleasure at any rate there is some venturing in refusing to believe nonsense. A plan a hearty plan a compressed disease and no coffee not even a card or a change to incline each way a plan that has that excess and that break is the one that shows filling. A season in yellow sold extra strings makes lying places. But if you do not take care at the outset or at least midway to make men good you will never force them into an honest belief. I answer: It is absurd to introduce- under whatever term disguised- into the conception of a thing which is to be cogitated solely in reference to its possibility the conception of its existence. It shows what use there is in a whole piece if one uses it and it is extreme and very likely the little things could be dearer but in any case there is a bargain and if there is the best thing to do is to take it away and wear it and then be reckless be reckless and resolved on returning gratitude. If the empirical law of causality is to conduct us to a Supreme Being this being must belong to the chain of empirical objects- in which case it would be like all phenomena itself conditioned. Certainly glittering is handsome and convincing. If we wish to divide this science from the universal point of view of a science in general it ought to comprehend first a Doctrine of the Elements and secondly a Doctrine of the Method of pure reason. Cold pails cold with joy no joy. The conceptions of reality substance causality nay even that of necessity in existence have no significance out of the sphere of empirical cognition and cannot beyond that sphere determine any object. Is there not much more joy in a table and more chairs and very likely roundness and a place to put them. There are however pure principles a priori which nevertheless I should not ascribe to the pure understanding- for this reason that they are not derived from pure conceptions but (although by the mediation of the understanding) from pure intuitions. Very likely there should not be a finer fancy present. Out of this sphere they are not properly conceptions but the mere marks or indices of conceptions which we may admit although they cannot without the help of experience help us to understand any subject or thing. A closet a closet does not connect under the bed. But our proof shows that external experience is properly immediate that only by virtue of it- not indeed the consciousness of our own existence but certainly the determination of our existence in time that is internal experience- is possible. Yet such really is the case here. But if you do not take care at the outset or at least midway to make men good you will never force them into an honest belief. At the same time we may attribute to this being infinite perfection- a perfection which necessarily transcends that which our knowledge of the order and design in the world authorize us to predicate of it. A sight a whole sight and a little groan grinding makes a trimming such a sweet singing trimming and a red thing not a round thing but a white thing a red thing and a white thing. Masters in the science of mathematics are confident of the success of this method; indeed it is a common persuasion that it is capable of being applied to any subject of human thought. Dirty is yellow. Where this unity of time is not to be met with as is the case with noumena the whole use indeed the whole meaning of the categories is entirely lost for even the possibility of things to correspond to the categories is in this case incomprehensible. A woolen object gilded. If then in the speculative sphere of pure reason no dogmata are to be found; all dogmatical methods whether borrowed from mathematics or invented by philosophical thinkers are alike inappropriate and inefficient. The three are on the table. A little monkey goes like a donkey that means to say that means to say that more sighs last goes. Yet such really is the case here. For such a hypothesis would introduce the principle of ignava ratio which requires us to give up the search for causes that might be discovered in the course of experience and to rest satisfied with a mere idea. A plan a hearty plan a compressed disease and no coffee not even a card or a change to incline each way a plan that has that excess and that break is the one that shows filling. A little monkey goes like a donkey that means to say that means to say that more sighs last goes. Yet such really is the case here. Mathematics natural science the common experience of men have a high value as means for the most part to accidental ends- but at last also to those which are necessary and essential to the existence of humanity. A SELTZER BOTTLE. A little monkey goes like a donkey that means to say that means to say that more sighs last goes. Light blue and the same red with purple makes a change. But if you do not take care at the outset or at least midway to make men good you will never force them into an honest belief. Mathematics natural science the common experience of men have a high value as means for the most part to accidental ends- but at last also to those which are necessary and essential to the existence of humanity.

Mathematics natural science the common experience of men have a high value as means for the most part to accidental ends- but at last also to those which are necessary and essential to the existence of humanity. It shows that there is no mistake. Mathematics natural science the common experience of men have a high value as means for the most part to accidental ends- but at last also to those which are necessary and essential to the existence of humanity. Some increase means a calamity and this is the best preparation for three and more being together. A plan a hearty plan a compressed disease and no coffee not even a card or a change to incline each way a plan that has that excess and that break is the one that shows filling. A LITTLE CALLED PAULINE. But if you do not take care at the outset or at least midway to make men good you will never force them into an honest belief. Mathematics natural science the common experience of men have a high value as means for the most part to accidental ends- but at last also to those which are necessary and essential to the existence of humanity. A little calm is so ordinary and in any case there is sweetness and some of that.
