[eu-gene] Generative or not?

[Cornell III, Howard M]

I would have to say that means no user inputs.  Of course its rules etc. are inputs by the programmer.

Looking a Wiki's "Generative music" 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_music

one of the "meanings"  says:

2. Interactive/Behavioural: music generated by a system component that ostensibly has no inputs. That is, 'not transformational' (Rowe 1991; Lippe 1997:34; Winkler 1998).


Could someone explain that? How is that possible?
