Artist's Note

This is an interactive electronic literature experiment about "arguments". Just as a person who won't hear any arguments in an discussion, the program simply doesn't accept arguments in your commands. In contrast to the behaviour of a chatbot, this program is not influenced by your words. You can find the very, very short source code here: https://github.com/whykatherine/takesnoarguments
