Postmodern in terms of programming refers to that body of thought that posits a replacement of the rigid classist structures with a new functional hermeneutics based not simply on truth or falseness but on an interpretation of access defined as a trajectory of internal and external states across the pattern. Most new PDM (post modern development) is actuated in a bias free programming language called "Chomsky" which is a rigid left recursive grammar untainted by Boolean logic.

I know you're joking, but just to clarify for others: Nothing about Chomsky's work is postmodern. On the contrary, Chomsky is a well-known and fierce critic of postmodernism, both in his political work and in linguistics. He's been openly criticizing "postmodern" thinkers and authors for decades. See for instance [1]. Moreover, his approach in linguistics has frequently been criticized as being too "scientistic" because he re-oriented linguistics towards the natural sciences. After all, he's the one who brought formal, recursive grammar formalisms and grammar hierarchies to the field.

Yes, I heard postmodernists say that everyone should stop boolean them.
