Base Claim:
1. A computer implemented method of characterizing a textual corpus state comprising: selecting a set of initial text publishers comprising at least one text publisher; defining a textual corpus comprising at least one textual output from a text publisher of the selected set of initial publishers; deriving a characterized textual corpus state comprising: a set of word characterizations; each word characterization comprising: a word and; an associated word frequency of occurrence value within the defined textual corpus; and a set of word pair characterizations; each word pair characterization comprising: a word pair, each word of the word pair being a member of the set of word characterizations, and; a first associated word pair frequency of co-occurrence value within a first defined text length of the defined textual corpus; generating a matrix comprising: a plurality of main diagonal terms each of the main diagonal terms comprising a keyword frequency value; and at least one off-diagonal term comprising a co-occurrence frequency value; and generating a digraph having a node for each main diagonal term and an arc for the at least one off-diagonal term, wherein the each nodal diameter is a function of the keyword frequency value.

Claim 5:
5. The method of claim 1 further comprising: providing the target state of the characterized textual corpus comprising: a set of keyword characterizations; each keyword characterization comprising: a keyword and; an associated keyword frequency of occurrence value within the defined textual corpus; and a set of keyword pair characterizations; each keyword pair characterization comprising: a keyword pair, each keyword of the keyword pair being a member of the set of keyword characterizations, and; a first associated keyword pair frequency of co-occurrence value within the first defined text length of the defined textual corpus; and generating an input to the set of initial text publishers based on the difference between the characterized textual corpus state and the target state of the characterized textual corpus state.
