write text messages and each of

forms develop in real-time through
the interaction of the user with the system.
"Each different message
creates a different form. Depending on the
composition of the text, the forms can either be
simple or complex, or abstract or
organic."[10]
"All text messages together
are used to build a collective and complex
three-dimensional image. This image is like a
virtual herbarium, composed of the various forms
based on the different text messages (i.e.,
verbs), hence the name VERBARIUM."[10]
"Clicking any part within the
collective image to retrieve messages sent
earlier by other users."
