00:57:41 <pikhq> My subnomic.\
00:58:40 <pikhq> I was planning on using Tue for it, but the Registrar asked me to find a different forum.
00:59:19 <pikhq> If I can get the right people in it, the subnomic will itself be an Agoran player.
01:02:35 <oerjan> um, the backup lists are still official forums that every Player has to subscribe to, aren't they?  I expect that would be annoying.

01:56:25 <ehird`> no, it shouldn't
01:56:33 <ehird`> since the \\ matches first

03:45:47 <graue> cool

03:45:49 <graue> what'd he do?

03:46:27 <pikhq> Except that it's the most minimal language that's Turing complete.
03:46:44 <graue> that sounds awesome

03:48:32 <pikhq> *Now* I do, yes. :)
03:48:44 <pikhq> I also know oerjan's name.
03:48:54 <oerjan> wait a minute, we cannot have two people with the _same_ name here in this channel.
03:49:01 <pikhq> Alex is quite common.
03:49:11 <pikhq> It'd be a bit more unusual to have two Oerjans here.
03:49:17 <pikhq> (or even two Oerjan Johansens.)
03:49:28 <oerjan> probably
03:50:26 <oerjan> although others do apparently exist
03:51:12 <pikhq> True.
03:52:25 <oerjan> since Johansen is a very common surname in Norway, that is to be expected.
03:53:17 <pikhq> And Oerjan seems a somewhat common first name in Norway.

05:44:01 <pikhq> Not quite the same, though.
05:44:28 <pikhq> This would mean that you have been published in one of the AMS's journals. . .
05:44:35 <pikhq> Which, quite frankly, kicks ass.
05:44:38 <oerjan> indeed
05:45:04 <pikhq> hurtful: Once upon a time, Gregor made a programming language named IRP. Everyone has hated him since. The end.
05:45:15 <oerjan> ah, the short version.
05:45:52 <oerjan> Once upon a time there was a beautiful country named Esoteria
05:46:58 <hurtful> what happened in esoteria?
05:46:59 <oerjan> The weather was always nice, and everyone was happy.  Except for one person, Gregor R(ex).
05:47:40 <pikhq> hurtful: 昔々、グレゴーさんはIRPのプログラムの語をつくった。みんあはかれが大嫌いだった。
05:48:04 <oerjan> He was a pessimist by nature, and he said: "How could my kingdom possibly last like this? All kingdoms end, in revolution or otherwise."
05:49:04 <oerjan> But the king was a clever magician, so he set about to invent a way to preserve his kingdom.
05:50:17 <oerjan> And so he delved into his magical books, until he came upon a tome about Summonings.
05:50:53 <oerjan> There he read about a powerful creature that could grant wishes:  The Irp.
05:52:39 <oerjan> And so he set about to perform the ritual.  This of course required many esoteric ingredients, the obtaining of which would not always be within the usual moral standards of the kingdom.
05:53:33 <oerjan> But nevertheless, he eventually obtained them, and performed the ritual.  And lo and behold, a small green creature appeared.
05:56:06 <hurtful> what hapened then?
05:57:03 <oerjan> And he asked the irp for a wish, of course.  That his kingdom should always stay as it was right now.
05:58:01 <oerjan> And since then so has been the case, the weather is still always nice and ... except the people are not quite happy.
05:58:26 <oerjan> Because now they cannot get rid of that annoying Irp creature!
05:58:59 * hurtful did a little experiment on the people in this channel just now
05:59:50 <oerjan> And the king is so ashamed that he would like to flee the country but he, like everything else in it, has to stay there like he is, forever.
06:01:46 <oerjan> And so they lived frustratingly ever after.
06:01:59 <bsmntbombdood> *claps*
06:07:01 * hurtful waits for someone to ask what the experiment is
06:07:46 * oerjan assumed it was the "please tell a story" thing
06:08:23 <hurtful> nope

06:29:53 <immibis> what title?
06:31:28 <oerjan> Bratteli-Vershik models for Cantor minimal systems: applications to Toeplitz flows
06:55:24 <bsmntbombdood> what's a Bratteli-Vershik models for a Cantor minimal system, and what's a Toeplitz flow, and how does it apply to it?
07:02:06 <oerjan> er...
07:03:14 <oerjan> a Bratteli-Vershik model is a kind of infinite graph
07:04:32 <oerjan> the infinite paths in it can be considered a Cantor set, and there is an ordering on the edges that allow you to define a mapping from one infinite path to another.
07:06:06 <oerjan> with certain restrictions this gives you a continuous invertible function from the Cantor set to itself, such that the iterated orbit of every infinite path is a dense subset of the Cantor set
07:06:32 * immibis has made a rubicon program that counts the number of times the user presses 'P'
07:07:34 <oerjan> it turns out that every such function from any Cantor set to itself can be modelled on an infinite graph this way
07:07:56 <oerjan> (these are the Cantor minimal systems)
07:08:50 <oerjan> Toeplitz flows are a class of such systems, which we investigated models for
07:09:34 <oerjan> absent further evidence, i shall assume your heads have all exploded already :D
07:10:13 <bsmntbombdood> you assumed right
