An Ongoing Software -> Hardware Project

This is just some alpha testing for a project I am working on. Right now it is only a terminal-runnning python script I have collaboratively coded using Claude Sonnet 4.5. I am sure you get the point of what is going on here if you are looking at this.
POEM

user-home@user:~/Documents/poetrysynth$ python3 main.py
Corpus loaded: 11545 words from glitch_poetry_corpus.txt
Welcome to Glitch Poetry Synthesizer [Alpha]
Loaded corpus: 11545 words

Commands:
gen              - Generate new clean base poem
set <param> <n>  - Apply glitch parameter to current poem (1-10)
                    Parameters: select|filter1|filter2|emphasis1|emphasis2|mod|wavex|wavey|wavez
reset            - Reset all parameters to 1 (clean)
show             - Show current parameter values
help             - Show this help
quit             - Exit

Parameter Scale:
1 = Clean/Normal (no effects)
2-10 = Escalating corruption intensity

Workflow:
1. Use 'gen' to create a new clean poem
2. Use 'set <param> <value>' to apply glitch effects (1=clean, 10=extreme)
3. Adjust multiple parameters to experiment with combinations
4. Use 'reset' to return to clean version of same poem
5. Use 'gen' again for a fresh poem when ready
