I found a sentence that, interestingly, doesn't lead to an attractor but a recursively growing sentence. I started with "How do I begin again?", which after 3 rounds generated a prepositional phrase with the word "point" and the phrase "water-drainage." After that, each pass generates another mutant copy of the "point" phrase and something involving water. Seven rounds yields: "How he exijiu, this water of the water of the water-drainage of the water, silicone for the greatest piece of the important point for the greatest piece of the important point for the point he in the calm of the majority for the low point, that the external piece for the part of the point under surface for the deepest beginning of the point, is important that, those, he?"
