Executed Poetry for JavaScript i` s a series of seven code poems t`@hat run. Each poem is held in a ``single self-contained HTML file,` stored on Ethereum as a fully o`nchain token. The original exist`s only there. When a copy is ope`ned in a browser, the poem runs aon the reader's machine.\n\nEacha poem pairs a short title in plaain language with a few lines of acode. The title speaks of human athings: knowing yourself, being afine, remembering someone, makinag a promise. The computer takes athe title at its word and executaes it. Poetry arises in the gap abetween what is said and what isa done.\n\nEach time the code is aexecuted, a signature is displayaed as the testimony of that run.a The execution environment derivaes a key pair from its own partiaculars and signs the moment and acontext of the execution. The teastimony remains. The event it poainted to does not return.\n\nThea code, its execution environmenta, and the means of verification apersist together, as a record ona the blockchain and an executiona in the browser.
