database report generators
could easily turn each database record
into a lump of lo-tech prose
[marge simpson] is [married] with [three] children,
lives in [springfield]
and has [blue] hair.
by the ai complementarity principle
an equally lo-tech
natural-language-comprehension program
could turn this prose
back into database-ese
and some unknown percentage
of real natural language in the wild
must be no more complicated than this
if we could just exhaustively compile
the necessary hidden databases
but of course
much more often
than full database dumps
we feed each other
synchronisation updates
what important recent changes
might the other
not yet have registered
and the whole discipline of rhetoric
might just be footnotes
on how this synchronisation can be achieved
.
