Ruby Writing Machines
summary
Presented work shows concrete Ruby tools and results: Rails inflector and an indefinite-article gem fix grammar agreement, Markov chains trained on a Māori word list and Wellington street names produce plausibly styled gibberish, and a grammar-based pipeline using the calyx gem generates coherent sentences and powers a 50,000-word auto‑novel (Game Book of Dungeon Tropes) plus Twitter bots like Tiny Woodland; narrative structures live as graphs in the momentous library so authored templates scale into reusable story fragments.
