Functional Poetry with Co-Recursive Ink
summary
A concrete notation called co-recursive ink (source code: metapoem; sections: metaverse) maps bracket-depth loops to iterations, with operators for delayed insertion [ ], delayed cut < >, alternation (/), a lazy oscillator, and bindings (#name, $name, @name). Initial interpreters target Haskell and Scheme but the working web app is implemented in JavaScript as co-acursive.inc; it integrates SoundCloud, replays the poem’s creation, and supports song forms. Needs Oxford Languages phonetic datasets (£5,000 each) to finish phonetic features; live co-writing demo runs.
