Tale-Spin was a earlier system that generated stories with morals: "In Tale-Spin‘s case, the processes simulate character reasoning and behavior, while the data defines a virtual world inhabited by the characters. As a result, while altering one page of a Choose Your Own Adventure leaves most of its story material unchanged, altering one behavior rule or fact about the world can lead to wildly different Tale-Spin fictions." from: http://grandtextauto.org/2006/09/13/the-story-of-meehans-tale-spin/ http://grandtextauto.org/2006/09/13/the-story-of-meehans-tal...
