generate /vt./ To produce something according to an algorithm
or program or set of rules, or as a (possibly unintended) side
effect of the execution of an algorithm or program. The opposite
of parse. This term retains its mechanistic connotations
(though often humorously) when used of human behavior. "The guy
is rational most of the time, but mention nuclear energy around him
and he'll generate infinite flamage."
