#automata theory

[felixcloud6288]

I need to rant for a moment and maybe some of you nerds on Tumblr will listen to me when I warn you about the dangers of invoking the empty language in a proof cause clearly, none of the students I TA for did.

In automata theory, a language refers to the set of input sequences that a machine accepts. This is equivalent to the user inputs that cause a program to close without error.

The empty language is a particular language that contains nothing in it. In other words, if a machine's language is empty, then every input you could try giving it will either generate an error or fail to shut the machine down.

And because the empty language is empty, there are many things about it that are vacuously true about it, and many contradicting statements can be simultaneously true about the empty language.

For example, the empty language is part of the set of languages that contain only palindromes and odd-length inputs (because there are no non-palindromes or even-length inputs in it). And the empty language is also part of the set of languages that contain only non-palindromes and even-length inputs (because there are no palindromes or odd-length inputs in it).

So whenever you do a proof about determining the characteristics of a language, you need to be very cautious about using the empty language in your proof because it may unexpectedly pass the vibe check.

Unless you 100% understand what will happen with the empty set, avoid using it in your proofs.

Anyway, this is just a long-winded way of saying I've had to take points off one particular exam question for most of the students I grade for something I've warned them constantly to avoid or be wary of.

No one in my social circle has the full knowledge to understand my joke, so i will just leave it here:

Someone on Twitter pointed out the Run Speed Up says "inkling or octoling form" I wonder if we're going to be able to pick our character OR I wonder if a certain Agent will make a return and we will be able to play as both in different scenarios?

Since Marina is nowhere to be found in the trailer my two theories are, Marina is somehow the antagonist or, with this inkling/octoling ability Marina is going to be supporting Agent 4 while Pearl supports 8?

Para natural chapter 8 is literally peak and yes it is that serious to me.... If you dont understand it perhaps you need to reread the comic because this is when Zack gets to connect a billion red strings and take their baby gloves off and start fucking balling at full speeds. Chapter 8 is basically when Zack is like "hey you know this story youve been reading for 500+ pages? Well" *nier automata opening credits*

Before the new episode of the anime drops, let me drop this theory that I’ve been having for a year now and why I think it might come true in the next episode.

My theory is that I think 9S is going to die in the stead of 2B. Let me explain.

So far the anime has had some, on first glance big differences compared to the game. Like Lily living instead of Anemone, and Eve dying before Adam. And it seems like these things would be a major change, but in hindsight, it changes overall nothing. The most we get from it is a character study from those characters when they are put in these new scenarios. This isn’t a bad thing.

I believe that the anime is telltaleing the viewers, making us think these are major changes that might change how the story goes and maybe even change the the ending but in reality, no matter how it gets there, Ending A and B still happen the same way. This also isn’t bad thing

Where this theory falls in is this thought I had, “Would Ending C & D change that much if 9S died instead of 2B” what I think is no.

Let me put you in this hypothetical: Your 2B, YoRHA is destroyed and you just escaped with 9S, and while this is very much a bad thing, seeing that most of YoRHA units got the virus and are now killing zombies, in the back of your head. This is perfect.

With the death of the commander and the whole space facility destroyed, you have no reason to kill 9S anymore. There’s nothing he can find out. And even if he did there was no reason to. Yeah there’s still the machines that are responsible for this, but after all of that is settled, you're done, forever!

You can just live your life with 9S on earth. Never having to worry if this will be the day you have to kill him ever again. And in a way with the facility destroyed there’s no way to come from being killed. So they can live their lives like humans! Finally living lives without care! Finally getting those T-shirts.

First you have to find 9S. Stop the machines so they can get to the good life fast. And as you ask your pod to give you his location to find him. And as you get close, you run across this bridge, and when you're halfway there you see him! You yell out to him but then you notice something.

…He’s been impaled by a sword.

By A2 no less…

As he falls lifeless on the ground. Your mind begins to scramble. He’s dead. He’s dead, forever. He’s not coming back again. And you’ll never see his face, his smile, his voice, ever again. He’s been taken from you just when you're finally free.

And it’s all of A2’s fault

A2 killed him before she could even say goodbye. Before she could say anything! She killed him! Something only she was supposed to do! She gets to decide when to kill him, not her!

So she’ll kill her! She’ll take her away from this earth with her own bare hands if she has to!

So yeah, I don’t think this would change anything with C & D. 2B would have the exact same bloodlust towards A2 in this scenario. And that rage would have been manipulated by the red girls the exact same way, because I’m mostly sure, that 2B didn’t even know why she was killing 9S, all that he found out too much information, information about what? She doesn’t know. And the truth would absolutely drive her insane.

Also it is a bit suspicious that the first OP of the second half isn’t on YouTube officially but the ED is. Which said ED just happened to be about 2B. And Almost as if the OP is going to change.

And it’s also weird that the 2nd Cour trailers, even the most recent episode, only consist of scenes and voice lines from the first episode. And yet the 2nd OP pretty much spoils what happens in C & D, but the first OP didn’t. Pretty suspicious. Just me though

so like this is absolutely a result of it not being something worth the time of the developers to change But in nier automata if you're connected to the internet you can find the bodies of other players that died while playing (you can either take their items or resurrect their body to fight with you) and the thing about that is no matter whether you're playing as 2B or 9S the body you leave behind has visible breast forms. so like if you so desire you can interpret that as 9S just binding all the time

Just a thought, but has anyone else wondered if the chasm next to the mall in Nier Automata the same as the chasm of the Aerie in Nier?

We find Kaine's home underneath the shopping mall, so they're geographically in a similar place.

I've started working as a TA for a class on automata theory and on the one hand, I had to explain to someone in a 4000-level course why 0 is even; but on the other hand, I blew someone's mind when I offhandedly mentioned a DFA can have multiple accept states and that caused them to instantly figure out how to solve a homework problem.

interested in alien contact stories that present alien psychology as a way out of binaries (currently re foreigner) bc that then creates a larger overarching binary of “how they think” and “how we think.” possible to escape the nested binaries? i’m being promised [spoilers] a third potentially hostile alien race at some point, so maybe that could get us out
