Hi, I'm the author of that blog. Can you tell me more about what you mean by a "tokenized writing style"? One confounding factor is that I have a PhD, so I was trained for many years to write in a formalized, academic style. Also, I deliberately put a lot of "signpost" phrases in my posts, since I'm writing about complex subjects and want to avoid readers getting lost.
- LoganDark 9mo agoIt's difficult to explain, but it's similar to the Scratch blocks idea that I mentioned up above. To me, a "tokenized writing style" is one that looks composed of nested layers of structure, not exactly grammatical structure but more logical structure. It certainly appears that a lot of the specific patterns could have come from training, but regardless of what, if you don't have Asperger's, you certainly do a good job imitating it :)
