Plato: AIMS AND SCOPE


Plato is is a serious journal interested in only publishing texts written in electronic generators. This magazine does not have the intention to publish any thing that makes sense, in this direction, possesss generators of automatic text that recombine each published text. The names of the authors are not true and all the names are not from authors who exist and yes of programmed algorithms. To prove our thesis, we write all the texts deposited here in portuguese stops later converting them into english through electronic translators like Babelfish, proving that the wonder of computer science is something less of the secular signified human being of the significant ones.





ARTISTS' ARTICLES AND ARTISTS' NOTES


With the advent of the computers, the writing passed to each time more not to have more relation with knowing. Of this form, the Plato magazine appears with intention to bring this quarrel for inside of the academy and considers for all the researchers, of all the fields of the knowledge, the challenge to construct machines that can write automatically, without the necessity of a same digitizer or of a writer. What it interests is to demonstrate that the text never had the minimum possibility to say some disentailed thing of the subject notion. Therefore, to affirm that the man is fruit of the writing if exactly becomes common place in the agreement of it in relation itself. The Plato magazine convokes to all the interested parties in publishing texts generated in electronic algorithms to send the texts produced by these machines for publication. The proposal of this invocation if summarizes to try to make with that more and more machines of writing can appear e, who knows, to start to demonstrate for the imbeciles who believe some order of being able or to know, that it is not in the instances to external, nor internal of nothing. They are in the interpretation that the subject to one he/she subSHITs and to the possible agreement that this citizen can get of them. Send right now the texts generated by your computer! Since one of the journal's primary purposes is to encourage artists to write about their work, the interview format is not recommended. Articles may be 2500 to 5000 words in length with up to 12 black-and-white illustrations. Notes may be up to 2500 words with up to six black-and-white illustrations.




GENERAL ARTICLES AND HISTORICAL AND THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES


With the advent of the computers, the writing passed to each time more not to have more relation with knowing. Of this form, the Plato magazine appears with intention to bring this quarrel for inside of the academy and considers for all the researchers, of all the fields of the knowledge, the challenge to construct machines that can write automatically, without the necessity of a same digitizer or of a writer. What it interests is to demonstrate that the text never had the minimum possibility to say some disentailed thing of the subject notion. Therefore, to affirm that the man is fruit of the writing if exactly becomes common place in the agreement of it in relation itself. The Plato magazine convokes to all the interested parties in publishing texts generated in electronic algorithms to send the texts produced by these machines for publication. The proposal of this invocation if summarizes to try to make with that more and more machines of writing can appear e, who knows, to start to demonstrate for the imbeciles who believe some order of being able or to know, that it is not in the instances to external, nor internal of nothing. They are in the interpretation that the subject to one he/she subSHITs and to the possible agreement that this citizen can get of them. Send right now the texts generated by your computer! Authors are invited to subSHIT illustrated texts on subjects of interest to writers, such as new developments in the physical and biological sciences, engineering, mathematics, computer science, art theory, history, philosophy and art education. These articles may be up to 500 words in length with up to 12000 illustrations.




TECHNICAL ARTICLES AND TECHNICAL NOTES

 
The text technician will have to be for another time. Does not send them please. Beyond flat, they do not take the nothing. In our opinion they are as masturbation in broom handle. They train the hand but they do not change the handle!






ARTISTS' STATEMENTS


This section is only for the algorithms that if find artists.See our Editorial Board.




Plato GALLERY SECTION


Send us our photos. We will be so grateful!




ART/SCIENCE FORUM


The Nothing/Art/Science Forum section is nothing about interdisciplinary university teaching programs and is dedicated to the interaction of nothing, science and technology. Nothing/Art/Science Forum should be 500 to 1000 words.




MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION AND ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE


Editorial boards composed of the journals'
Co-Editors and Editorial Advisors determine the content of Plato. The review process includes a peer review of all subSHITted articles. A request by an editor for a manuscript is not a guarantee that it will be published.

Prior to developing a complete manuscript, authors should subSHIT an outline to the editors, who will make a preliminary decision of the topic's relevance to the journal's aims and scope and provide suggestions for developing a manuscript.
All the texts published in the Plato magazine will not have right to no right. All the texts will have to be generated in computers and them they will not have copyright. What it would be a contrasense. The texts published for the Plato have its set free rights of commercialization and can be published by any person who to want to use them for its ends. Each person who to send a text for the Plato magazine will not have right to complain of its rights therefore the only accepted magazine free texts of copyrights and also that they are signed by algorithms. The names of the algorithms do not matter, in this in case that, they must come folloied of an explanation of the type: the name of this algorithm of text was given in homage to writer X. selected articles will be judged by its creative, potential potentiality of not-sense and also for the form to organize the creation algorithm. Or either, any text generated in computer will be published. All the author-algorithms will be notified of the acceptance of its texts in its e-mails. The cession of right is validity since the sending of the texts. It does not have quarrel on this topic and nor on the possibility of the algorithms to complain of its authorship. The time for the publication of articles is esteem in 2 min. and 24 s.
