Rules and writing

The rules govern what I write. I may have a collection of impulses in my head, but these must be ordered by rules before they can find their way out of my head. And how much leeway the rules give these impulses is anyone's guess. With enough rules, the text should be able to generate itself.

None of this is news, but some of this needed to be written as a prelude.
