uggestions forquantifying literature from experimental early structuralism, such asClaude Lévi-Strauss’s attempt to define the structure of myths using the for-mulafx(a) :fy(b)≅fx(b) :f(a−1)(y), are not operationalizable at all, as suchpatterns are too difficult and abstract to code and define far too few textsfor machine learning to successfully code even one such appearance in ahandful of texts
Fucking love Levis-Strauss. It is interesting how much computers rely on large amount of data, but by doing so, glosses over the different patterns and nuance.
