The Free Associator was an experiment in computability and creativity that was running for several days. Unfortunately the program uses too much memory to leave running for an extended period of time, so I have replaced it with this static web page. Some examples of the system output (based on actual user submissions over the experiment period) can be seen below.
If you would like to see the live system started again, please feel free to contact me.
