Modal Textualities
is leveraging literary analysis of Big Pun's rhyme schemes to create modal texts with the finest self-similarity ratios and most precise syllable placement in American Letters.
Consonance + Assonance = [Echoes]
[Echoes] / Syllables = Self-Similarity
Self-Similarity Threshold (i.e. >.75) = Modal Text
This website is a repository for my modal texts.
Featured on the About Page is the short essay "Self Similarity in the Extended Line (w/ Reference to Big Pun)", which expands on that concept.
