not x then
The more abstractly these are described, the more they come to resemble simple algebraic expressions, replete with "if, then" statements and instructions that resolve to "if x, then y, if not x, then z." 50 If this sounds reminiscent of the discussion of the Turing machine, it should. — from The Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the Mind by James Boyle
This tab, called Hiding in Plain Sight,
shows you passages from notable books where your word is accidentally (or perhaps deliberately?)
spelled out by the first letters of consecutive words.
Why would you care to know such a thing? It's not entirely clear to us, either, but
it's fun to explore! What's the longest hidden word you can find? Where is your name hiding?
