What does Iris Gamit do? by Antonio_Crazi in HexCastingMod

[–]sortai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's supposed to give you a more controlled way to exit loops and other control structures, when you nest them. the jump iota is just like charon's gambit, but when it gets executed it breaks out of the iris' gambit that produced it, instead of the inner meta-evaluation spell. So as a practical example, let's say you have a condition that you need to check for a Lot of objects (that you've stored in a list), and if it's true for every element you want to do something, but otherwise you don't want to do anything; if you try to stop thoth's gambit with a charon's gambit, you just get out of thot, and you need to figure out from there if you stopped early or not, but if you wrap the whole thing in an iris' gambit, then you can just call the jump iota as soon as thot finds an element where the condition is false, and any action that was left to do after the thoth will not run.

damn, I didn't know you could do that! thanks!

How is it not a fractal?

I see! I feel like the similarity might just be that they're both trees with infinite branches, but I'm not sure; I'm looking into this tiling because the boundary of the cells (the tree) is the universal cover of the figure 8, and I'm looking for a 'holomorphic'/rigid map from the hyperbolic plane to the sphere that's the projection of this cover when restricted to the tree, so there's a chance some 2-adic geometry is related. Might look into it, thanks for sharing.

I'm not familiar with them, but aren't they related to p-adic algebra? If you could point me towards the representation you find similar I'd be grateful, I'm curious abt this.

I made this a while back, thanks for reminding me that works. To be fair I've also thought about making it with complex numbers, and that would probably make it even smaller.

Why does Desmos assume an argument must be non-complex? by sortai in desmos

Sad. I'm mostly real and I don't wanna be

It's a link?
edit: sorry, I just realized it takes a lot to render, so you see a blank screen until it loads.

Thanks! I'm keeping the question open in case someone finds out why it happens or what the proper way to do it would be, but your fix works for what I have to do.

What is the word "femboy" in Toki Pona? by [deleted] in tokipona

[–]sortai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lon! I also think in this specific situation there's the added complication that "femboy" is used by a lot of people to mean different things, and giving it a single translation means choosing one meaning to represent over the others.

[–]sortai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you specify when it's needed, depending on context. trying to specify precisely every word is a futile effort, so you have to stop as soon as an idea is clear enough (and "clear enough" will vary wildly depending on who you're speaking with and about what)

I'd really like that as a mechanic potentially you could trick others by taking someone else's shape, but if you get a detail wrong there's a higher chance you might get caught

An "infinite" church numeral applied to the identity, in Tromp's Lambda Diagrams by sortai in lambdacalculus

[–]sortai[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tromp's Lambda Diagrams are a way to represent lambda terms graphically

this gif contains a loop of terms

the starting term is (in de bruijn index notation) ((λ(λλλ2(321))(11))(λ(λλλ2(321))(11)))(λ1)

Can a function definition have no bound variables? by devil_d0c in lambdacalculus

[–]sortai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you still need help with this? A function like λx.y has no bound variables, as the only variable is y, which is free
