The Definition of Algorithm
The Definition Of Algorithm is a series of books. Each book starts with the word Algorithm, the content is generated by 8 recursive iterations of replacing every noun with one of its definition from the Oxford dictionary. Each book has a unique text because a random selection is made when a noun has multiple definitions. It is the poetics of an algorithm trying to understand itself.
