The curly brackets { } indicate instructions in the code, such as Method Bodies. Variables such as ‘myMemory’, ‘myJudgement’ and ‘myPerception’ are based on privat bodily concepts, while their content, typical of variables, remains interchangeable. The poems take up common forms of programming, such as the not-equal-to operator ( != ), the ‘try-catch’ statement, which catches errors (exceptions), or the ‘while’ loop that remains in its loop as long as the condition of the first bracket ( ) is fulfilled.
