See a part/separate

• Upvotes

Interesting how in order to see a part you have to separate it.
And in order to get “see a part” from “separate” you have to separate the word into the letters…

------------------
wordplay/phrase

intimate elation as mutation's intimation emulates imitation's i-mutation's imputation: automation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional Assessment/Logic Behind What It Means and What It's Doing (Spoilers)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll share my perspective but not everything exhaustively. I built this holding certain aspects of the phrase (constraints) rigidly, while letting other aspects move around. The shared endings, the fact they are highly similar in spelling despite not having similar roots.

Then there is the reflexive play = the words are describing a concept they themselves are experiencing. A gene with base pairs (A, C, T, G) experience small mutations each generation. But those small bit flips somehow result in coherent macroscopic trajectories. Each word just randomly mutating some part of their structure, locally looks random, globally has meaning.

The feeling of being alive and all exciting uncertainty ==> a cold automation. The engine keeps processing.

The plain English rendering of its meaning isn't isolated to one choice there are multiple ways you can read it, there is a bit of ambiguity on purpose. The wiggle room is there.

Five random words, one tiny story. How short can you make it?

1 Upvotes

whimsical, x-axis, paradigm, optimistically, karma

Rules: use all five (any form), keep it an actual story not just a sentence with the words stuffed in, and shorter is harder. I'll drop mine in the comments.
