Emo chain

I didn't attach a new medium to the chain code. Instead I worked with the filtering of emotions out of a romantic novel text [1]. In the near future I want to perform the emotions that are generated by the chain. I will be acting to be in love with audience members while at the same time experiencing the instructed emotions. This way the system will simulate a person being in love that goes through different emotions and phases of love. The audience will get to experience that someone is in love with them fed by a wide range of constantly changing emotions. It is my intention that this simulation will give a generated experience. In the future narratives may be generated through simulations in a similar way.

Technically not much has changed since the Markov chain assignment. I just installed a filter upon the input text that makes sure only emotions are part of the chain. I got a list of emotions from a site [2]. From this list I took out the emotion "open", because it was triggered too often since a sentence like "He looked through the open door and saw ..." will falsely match this emotion.
