It is a genre of electronic literature, and also related to generative art. John Clark's Latin Verse Machine (1830–1843) is probably the first example of mechanised generative literature, [1] [2] while Christopher Strachey's love letter generator (1952) is the first digital example. [3]
Although this appears to be the first work of computer-generated literature, the structure is similar to the nineteenth-century parlour game Consequences, and the early twentieth-century surrealist game exquisite corpse. The Mad Libs books were conceived around the same time as Strachey wrote the love letter generator. [3]
Directrix is a spaceship in the Lensman series of novels by E. E. Smith. Directrix is the name of an alternative punk band in Chicago. Directrix - a feminine form of director in the context of grammatical gender
Any straight line (,) with fixed parameter = is called a generator. The vectors () describe the directions of the generators. The curve () is called the directrix of the representation. The directrix may collapse to a point (in case of a cone, see example below).

"Parabola" is used frequently. It first appears attached to two diagrams from Ted's geometry lessons, one of a parabola showing the curve as the locus of points equidistant from a focus and a directrix, the other as a cross-section of a cone. Later uses, along with "equidistant" and "directrix", are vague and metaphorical.
