To-Chaos-Case

Apply chaotic capitalisation to text. Two modes:

• alternating (default) — flip case on every alphabetic character: hello world → hElLo WoRlD.
• random — each letter independently 50/50 upper or lower.

Non-alphabetic characters pass through unchanged.

Inputs

• Source text — inline string, clipboard, or file path.
• Mode — alternating (default) or random.
• Seed (optional, random mode only) — integer for reproducible output.

Implementation

Do this in code, not via the model — it's a deterministic string operation.

import sys, random
def alternating(s):
    out, flip = [], False
    for c in s:
        if c.isalpha():
            out.append(c.upper() if flip else c.lower())
            flip = not flip
        else:
            out.append(c)
    return "".join(out)

def randomised(s, seed=None):
    rng = random.Random(seed)
    return "".join(c.upper() if c.isalpha() and rng.random() < 0.5 else c.lower() if c.isalpha() else c for c in s)

Output

Print the transformed text to stdout. With --in-place, overwrite the source file.
