Virtual Self CFG

Stupid sentence generator that creates pseudo philosophical quotes in the aesthetic of Virtual Self music videos.

Non-Terminal Symbols

Ν = { S, NP, VP, PP }

S = Sentence
VP = Verb Phrase
NP = Noun Phrase
PP = Prepositional Phrase

Terminal Symbols

Σ = { DT, Vi, Vt, NN, IN, ADJ }

DT = Determiner
Vi = Intransitive Verb
Vt = Transitive Verb
NN = Noun
IN = Preposition
ADJ = Adjective

Alphabet
