Keystroke God

Under the keys lies a secret hidden in the machinations of mathematical permutations. Randomness is not the only rule here; there is a subtle god controlling the finger impulses that arrange words from up and down movements. What he commands is often overruled, but more often unfelt and unseen, so that his dictations go into effect without consciousness. If we could separate our writing from his will, where would we be? Would we be uninspired, or simply normal? Yes, the act of absolutely independent keystrokes is certainly the most revolutionary writing we can accomplish, but how can we be sure?
