-This would essentially use the random-select process to pick one of the chunks to be the 'structure text'.  The other texts would be used as part-of-speech substitution databases.  Having a static 'structure text' could also be interesting.  We could do several iterations of the same structure, each with different substitutions.  An ad nauseam chapter or "Chomsky Variations".
