"random" matches? .... or what I've settled on, <i>mutations</i>) then it's probably not going to go much beyond a linear reading/hyperlinked association tedium. have called it <i>evolver</i>.

have called it evolver. Has associated components:
evolver the main interface
involver a media input method
revolver a media output method, a viewer
devolver a media decoder
envolver a media encoder
the way things snap together is quite vague at this stage.
v0.1 should be done this summer. hmmm. tagline: “i’ll believe it when i see it”
