As you were talking through this and the motivation one might have for producing such a work with apparently no meaning or utility, a thing called Temple OS came to my mind. It's a computer operating system written by a wildly gifted but mentally ill person. It's amazing that one person could write this thing and it functions as designed but it's of essentially no use to anyone. It occurs to me that perhaps this is also the work of a disturbed mind that became obsessed with the production of something that perhaps was being dictated by the voices in his head. Some religious christians do "speaking in tongues" where they are "convinced" that the noises they are making have some grand and lofty meaning. Perhaps the writer had something similar going on in their head and sought a means to write it down because they were convinced that it had a great value.
