To have some randomly generated semiotic squares, please click here at your leisure.

It might prove to be a prototype for something that's not coming for a long time, but probably won't be.

I've also included one structural variation (to do with someone's interpretation of the Levi-Strauss canonical formula... ).  It can produce some oddly disconcerting schemata, I think...

strange dirty human		strange clean human
	->
familiar dirty human		familiar clean machine

Oh, what you're meant to do with the squares is to fill in one object/concept in each cell that fits with th concepts/adjectives in it, or else fit some story to it (well, most people try to find an analogic square to fit a given story/preassembled set of objects, but we must work backwards :/ ).   I was hoping I could find something like wordnet that would allow me to find nouns fitting a given description, but no database yet exist it seems...

(Though you may laugh, somehow it took me over five hours to code this (a good one-and-a-half hours of me trying to trim whitespaces off the data files  ).

Wow, I totally don't get that, but it IS kinda cool. I'll try to wrap my head around it xD

[Terry]

It's pretty cool - especially when the two words kinda match up

concrete    reality	concrete appearance
abstract    reality	abstract appearance

prose    subjective	prose objective
poetry    subjective	poetry objective

incoherent    solvent	incoherent bankrupt
articulate    solvent	articulate bankrupt

I think this might be too indie for me.

incoherent    solvent	incoherent bankrupt
articulate    solvent	articulate bankrupt

Let's hope you keep to the bottom left then, eh?

[Terry]

Haha - it's looking more like the top right at the moment though

Some awesome word-boxes, but I don't really understand what it does.

Okay.

war    speaker	war listener
peace    speaker	peace listener

I don't get much of it. But it's funny, in a way.. 

[___]

artificial    metaphorical	artificial literal
natural    metaphorical	natural literal

I think I just transcended space and time.

[Noyb]

Haha, awesome.  :D

free    bubbly	free dull
busy    bubbly	busy dull

Who to take out tonight?

long-winded    fake	long-winded genuine
brief    fake	brief genuine

Sincerity in speeches.

Some awesome word-boxes, but I don't really understand what it does. 

They're used to classify things.  For instance, if I wanted to do a rough classification of characters in X-Men, I could use the semiotic square

Mutant    Good	Mutant    Evil
Human    Good	Human    Evil

And see who fell into each of the four categories.
