The author of this tool is Chris Barker -- back in 2015, I took his course on &quot;Continuations and Natural Language&quot; at the LSA. He&#x27;s working on a lot of really cool stuff, so its fun to see him pop up here. The class was a summary of the research he had been doing at that time; the central idea was that some constructions in natural language can interact with their own continuations[0], dynamically changing their scope and arguments in much the same way that continuations in e.g. Lisp work. Here is a paper where he introduces the idea quite clearly: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs.bham.ac.uk&#x2F;~hxt&#x2F;cw04&#x2F;barker.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs.bham.ac.uk&#x2F;~hxt&#x2F;cw04&#x2F;barker.pdf</a><p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Continuation" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Continuation</a>
