A similar idea is explored in the novel 'The Tin Men' by Michael Frayn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tin_Men https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tin_Men). One of the characters invents 'Unit Headline Language' (UHL) with constructs like 'Strike Threat Probe Row'. A key feature of the language is that you can arrange the units in many different ways and it makes as much - indeed as little - sense. "UHL, Goldwasser quickly realised, was an ideal answer to the problem of making a story run from day to day in an automated paper. Say, for example, that the randomiser turned up * STRIKE THREAT By adding one unit at random to the formula each day the story could go: * STRIKE THREAT BID * STRIKE THREAT PROBE * STRIKE THREAT PLEA And so on. Or the units could be added cumulatively: * STRIKE THREAT PLEA * STRIKE THREAT PLEA PROBE * STRIKE THREAT PLEA PROBE MOVE * STRIKE THREAT PLEA PROBE MOVE SHOCK * STRIKE THREAT PLEA PROBE MOVE SHOCK HOPE * STRIKE THREAT PLEA PROBE MOVE SHOCK HOPE STORM Or the units could be used entirely at random: * LEAK ROW LOOMS * TEST ROW LEAK ..."
