⇒ (implies)

The connective in propositional calculus, which has the meaning, “if A is true, then B is also true.”

The software randomly selects a word from a thesaurus, and obtains one of its synonyms. The search continues for synonyms of those synonyms, and so on, until no more unique synonyms are available. This process continues infinitely.

Sometimes – though not always – a long chain of synonyms produces words that are not similar at all, and are instead odd, hilarious, disturbing, or even antonymous.

Built in Processing and MySQL using the WordNet lexical database. The interface shows the details of the currently-processed chain, and a brief history of recently-processed chains. Online version and “best-of” coming soon.
