GRAFIT Course Material - Chomsky Sentences, Language, Recursive Lambda Function Growth

Recursive Lambda Function Growth Algorithm in:
https://github.com/shrinivaasanka/asfer-github-code/blob/master/asfer-docs/AstroInferDesign.txt
and
https://sourceforge.net/p/asfer/code/HEAD/tree/asfer-docs/AstroInferDesign.txt

create a lambda function composition tree approximation of a text (represented as a recursive gloss overlap graph). This has linguistic basis (shuffling the parts of sentence, word chains) in Chomsky sentences constructed by Chomsky in his "Syntactic Structures" paper - http://www.linguist.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~edunbar/ling499b_spr12/readings/syntactic_structures.pdf.

An example of this type of sentences which are grammatically correct but semantically less meaningful is described in NeuronRain FAQ: http://neuronrain-documentation.readthedocs.io

Some other examples are:

- James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher - which is an example for importance of punctuations (i.e how to parenthesize the sentence) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_while_John_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_a_better_effect_on_the_teacher
- the gostak distims the doshes - which is an example for how to derive meaning of new words by questions and answers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gostak
