'From the Configurable Catalogue of Objects #1' was inspired
by the song 'Catalogue of 15 objects and their Titles' from the album Kew.Rhone and
by discussions at Amateur Enterprises concerning machines
that could generate objects and test their numinosity.
The first in a projected series of 'From the Catalogue', this
version can manufacture 50625 different object
combinations from a configuration of two connected objects and
their respective materials.
The catalogue makes simple decisions concerning the relationships
between objects and their descriptions during object generation:
a controlled randomness.
The current version (v1.2) of The Catalogue also makes use
of an engine (The Poetry Engine) that uses a limited 'world'
model to inform the catalogue's process of interpretation
in it's generation of the object titles.
