regenerative is the second part of the degenerative experiment, in which a web page became increasingly corrupted each time it was visited.
in the regenerative web page, text degenerates with each visit, but it also attempts to regenerate itself by trying to extract some text from the refering page.
if extraction succeeds, the new text is implanted within the degenerating text and becomes part of it.
A web page that slowly becomes corrupted. each time the page is visited, one of its characters is either destroyed or replaced.
