I don't know if you're purposely evading my point or simply missed it.
I thought it would be clear that my reply to your.
focused on "
it only changes form," which is why I said
But to re-phrase:
1) What form did a story have before it was changed into its present form?
2) What form did the high C note I just blew on my trumpet have before it was changed into its present form?
IOW. What
form did each have before they were generated?
Not how each was generated.
SO:
1) Before the story was generated it had the following form: _________________fill in the blank______________________________ .
2) Before I generated the high C on my trumpet it had the following form: ______________fill in the blank_________________________________ .
