01:09:53 <Taneb> Can you guys give me tips for making esolangs without really trying
01:11:01 <oerjan> pick a weird layout for memory and program, possibly separately
01:12:13 <Taneb> oerjan, that was the plan
01:12:18 <oerjan> steal commands/keywords from ordinary languages, give them single character names
01:12:30 <Taneb> I need to do this in half an hour a week on thursday
01:12:50 <oerjan> alternatively give them themed names
01:13:14 <oerjan> (but i somehow expect you to have better taste)
01:13:53 <Taneb> I am worried my audience will be expecting Real Fast Nora's Hair Salon 3: Shear Disaster Download 2
01:14:41 <oerjan> in that case, steal combinator birds instead. rename them to flowers.
01:14:44 <Taneb> ...on another note, I've just got a 418 error
01:15:09 <Taneb> oerjan, I want to do as little planning but as much preparation as possible
01:16:37 <oerjan> bring a box of legos. use those for syntax.

02:25:17 <quintopia> oerjan: what do you call the ordering where you sort by length and then sort by the first symbol within lengths, then sort by the second symbol within those with the same length and first symbol etc...
02:28:09 <oerjan> for a given base, if you ignore leading zeros, it's the same as "numerical order"
02:30:35 <oerjan> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortlex_order
02:34:02 <quintopia> so "the alignment will never be odd" is enough to prove that the zeros will never disappear?
02:35:32 <oerjan> for larger than 4, it's not necessary, but with 4 if you hit on 04400440... in that order it completely self-deletes
02:36:06 <quintopia> ah. what suffices for the other cases then?
02:36:29 <quintopia> like why do the zeros never show up in the first or second positions?
02:37:27 <oerjan> they might, but the strings are long enough that you will get a reproduction later anyhow
02:37:42 <oerjan> in fact the case where the zero is second is the worst one
02:38:01 <oerjan> and the only reason i need four copies of the n-1 n's block
02:39:52 <quintopia> hmm. were you able to simultaneously apply all this logic to all of them, and then just grep runs of them?
02:39:55 <oerjan> or n-2 n's, for the 0 0 case
02:40:55 <oerjan> all the cases where the alignment starts with n n work essentially the same, and there are just 2-3 other positions to consider.
02:41:32 <oerjan> and the logic is not significantly different for different n>=5
02:42:36 <oerjan> n … n 0 n … n 0 n … n 0 n … n
02:42:48 <oerjan> that's my summary diagram for the logic
02:43:45 <quintopia> well that's settled then. Now there's only a couple of things I really want to know about it: 1) am i right that universality is still achievable if we bound the number of symbols?
02:44:21 <oerjan> well of course, just take a universal tag system and apply ais523's perl program to it
02:44:43 <quintopia> 2) is there a nice block that includes an arbitrary length-n string and copies itself f(n) times for any linear f?
02:45:42 <oerjan> (afaict the initial state of the tag system doesn't influence the symbols used, only the lookup table/"alphabet" does)
02:46:07 <quintopia> oerjan: his program incorporates the initial condition into the generated program. I'm not perfectly certain about how it works that we can bound the max number for all possible inputs
02:46:21 <quintopia> well i can't tell. i was hoping so.
02:46:56 <oerjan> quintopia: the initial condition is afaict just concatenating the representation for each symbol as derived from the condition-independent alphabet.
02:46:58 <quintopia> in which case, my question is: what's an upper bound on that number? unfortunately, i can't find an explicit representation of a universal tag system anywhere.
02:49:36 <quintopia> i mistated question 2. in fact, i don't know how to phrase that question right now. but i would at least like to have a block pattern which can create a constant number of copies of itself including an arbitrary string.
02:49:44 <oerjan> as for (2) what do you mean by using a function? i'm pretty sure we can make a block that copies itself m times and contains a length n arbitrarily chosen substring
02:50:36 <oerjan> i guess i just rephrased it, then :P
02:50:36 <quintopia> well i would think so, but i would also like it to be short and simple :P
02:50:41 <quintopia> it's not what my real question is though. but i don't know what my real question is.
02:51:08 <oerjan> hm probably adjust the 4 2 4 2 ... thing
02:52:28 <oerjan> hm i think it needs something at the end too
02:53:48 <quintopia> yeah, except things at the end may cause it to interact with other blocks!
02:55:11 <oerjan> the problem is getting anything _between_ the copies.
02:55:37 <oerjan> i think you need two passes.
02:56:01 <quintopia> that sounds more likely. one pass for the head, one for the tail?
02:57:25 <quintopia> maybe one pass makes two copies the arbitrary string, and another inserts the header between them somehow
02:57:45 <oerjan> no. you cannot swap things efficiently.
02:57:56 <oerjan> but intermediate form, yes.

03:59:13 <oerjan> this can apply to stack languages like underload as well (see the rewriting section in that)

07:38:18 <kmc> whence quote
07:38:51 <kmc> I think there's some OS out there which uses ud2 as the syscall instruction
07:39:34 <fizzie> Intel's instruction set manual, volume 2, Table A-1 "Superscripts Utilized in Opcode Tables", entry "1B".
07:39:51 <fizzie> (Which is used in both the 0F0B and 0FB9 table entries.)
07:57:36 <oklopol> i'll also ask here i guess: i have a (universal) algebra A in some variety, say it's an abelian group, so the type is (+, 2), (^{-1}, 1), (1, 0). i say a function f : A \to A is \emph{nice} if it can be built as follows: the identity map and constant maps are nice, and if $g$ is nice and $c \in A$, then $x \mapsto g(x) + c$, $x \mapsto c + g(x)$, $x \mapsto g(x)^{-1}$ and $x \mapsto 1$ are nice. is there a better name for nice?
07:58:32 <oklopol> so basically the functions you can build out of a single variable x and any algebra operations with constants from the algebra
07:58:54 <oklopol> for rings, these are the affine maps x \mapsto ax + b
07:59:01 <oklopol> so i have usually called them affine maps

16:01:42 <quintopia> ais523: could your tag-to-resplicate converter be easily adjusted to output only even-length sequences with even numbers in the odd positions?
16:07:16 <quintopia> wish i knew perl better, or understood the algorithm enough to reimplement in something I better understand
16:07:47 <ais523> the only tricky thing that program does is build expressions as strings, that are 'eval'ed later
16:08:04 <ais523> also, @array can either refer to the array as a whole, or the number of elements in it
16:08:14 <ais523> which can make that program a little confusing at times

16:18:27 <ais523> you mean it could put the 78 0 at the /end/ instead? that'd annoy me even more
16:18:33 <ais523> because then it'd be out of order
16:20:36 <quintopia> i always manually move it to the end when i save it :P
16:21:47 <quintopia> so about these 1's that keep showing up in the odd positions...how to make them even numbers?
16:22:33 <quintopia> eh, in general, how to change odds to evens?
16:22:59 -!- nisstyre has joined.
16:26:52 <ais523> quintopia: the code that generates the 523 padding has an odd length (3), and the length of that code determines the length of the padding
16:27:35 <ais523> if you make the padding-generation code have an even length (e.g. by padding by copying a length-2 string not a length-1 string), the required length of padding will be an even length too

16:28:38 <oerjan> ...and then my header merge suggestion will work >:)
16:30:05 <quintopia> oerjan: that's why i'm trying to do it
16:30:42 <quintopia> because as you've demonstrated, there is a simple meta-symbol construction for "ResPairate"
16:31:22 <oerjan> hm i may have thought that, but did i actually say it?
16:31:51 <oerjan> (that you can merge pairs into a single symbol if everything is even alignment)
16:32:02 <quintopia> (namely, the pair (n,m) is replaced by the sequence (2,2)(n+11,m)(2,2)(2,2)(2,2)(2,2)(2,2)(0,0)(n,1)(0,0)(n,1))
16:33:18 <quintopia> that's the metasymbol. you should recognize it. it's mostly yours. :P
16:33:33 <oerjan> well yes but what's a metasymbol
16:33:53 <quintopia> a sequence that behaves like a symbol. like metapixels in Life.
16:34:32 <oerjan> um that sequence double itself every second cycle, it doesn't behave like anything else?
16:38:57 <oerjan> but my sequence is designed to preserve _itself_, not what's following.
16:39:07 <quintopia> ais523: so does push @alphabet, 2, (@alphabet + 5), 0, 0; do what you're saying? i'm not sure what the "5 numbers" you refer to are.
16:39:45 <ais523> the 5 numbers are the number of numbers pushed on that line, plus the number of numbers pushed on the next line
16:39:49 <ais523> so you'd need to change the 5 to 6
16:39:56 <ais523> then you'd need to divide by 2
16:40:11 <ais523> because you're copying a two-element string, so you only need half as many copies
16:40:23 <ais523> so it'd be push @alphabet, 2, (@alphabet + 6) / 2, 0 , 0;
16:40:31 <ais523> then you need to change the end padding the same way
16:40:49 <quintopia> oerjan: it multiplies itself, including some string which it is prepended to. what if what is prepended to is another sequence just like itself? it should work i think.
16:41:52 -!- conehead has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
16:42:04 <quintopia> ais523: and the trailing padding has to be modified in terms of a string to be eval'd? so i need to put the /2 into a string and concatenate it?
16:43:15 <quintopia> so this: push @alphabet, 2, ('(@alphabet - '. @alphabet. ')/2'), 0, 0;
16:43:50 <oerjan> quintopia: it keeps the thing it's prepended to completely inert.
16:43:53 <ais523> quintopia: that looks right
16:45:16 <oerjan> my point is, something that works equivalent to the pair (m,n) needs _not_ to include itself in what it's multiplying.
16:45:21 <quintopia> oerjan: oh wait. i see the problem. it imposes a copy of itself between all those symbols its prepended to.
16:45:23 <b_jonas> oerjan: you were right. check the changes now.
16:45:39 <quintopia> so yeah it should fail to preserve itself instead
16:47:48 <oerjan> quintopia: in fact a trivial meta-symbol is (x,0) ...x arbitrary pairs... (m*(x+2),n)
16:48:47 <oerjan> and the initial part can be replaced by anything that leaves no trace
16:49:06 <quintopia> do you have m and n backwards from i am doing or am i just confused

16:52:42 <quintopia> ais523: by the way i ran collatz->tag->resplicate for n=27 and it 406542 steps to reach the period 40 oscillator, growing up to 2,170,200 on the way.
16:53:02 <ais523> quintopia: I tried doing that, but gave up waiting for it to finish :-)
16:53:20 <ais523> you can actually follow what the tag system is doing with some simple greps on the debug output of the interp
16:53:23 <quintopia> ais523: takes about one night's sleep to finish.
16:54:04 -!- FreeFull has joined.
16:54:12 <quintopia> ais523: you can actually follow the collatz one really easily just by watching the length of the queue from moment to moment (which is printed by the -l flag)
16:54:39 <quintopia> seeing as how it represents numbers in unary :P
16:55:04 <ais523> we need a simple useful tag program that isn't the collatz sequence one from Wikipedia, really
16:55:35 <ais523> although I guess generalized collatz (which is TC) shouldn't be too hard to compile to tag?
16:55:42 <quintopia> ais523: do you think it's possible to design a halt symbol that deletes itself when compiled to resplicate?
16:56:20 -!- conehead has joined.
16:56:38 <ais523> quintopia: not without modifying the rest of the construction, but it'd be trivial enough to slip in a "skip to this point in the next symbol" construction to the initial padding
16:56:41 <ais523> then you could just jump to that
16:56:47 <ais523> and all the symbols would delete themselves in turn until the tape was empty
16:58:20 <quintopia> ais523: the only problem i've been having with the whole "universal tag system" thing is that every thing I can find shows how particular /families/ of tag systems are universal. I have yet to find anything tag systems that let you encode other tag systems as the string to be modified and evaluates them.
16:58:50 <ais523> quintopia: write a Turing Machine that evaluates tag sytems, compile it to a tag system
16:59:05 <quintopia> ais523: yes i know, but that will be HUEG
16:59:25 <ais523> also there's the question about how you do input
16:59:34 <ais523> I'd like to give ResPlicate an output extension, at least
16:59:55 <ais523> something like "if the length is 0, the count is interpreted as a Unicode codepoint and written to stdout"
17:00:02 <ais523> that doesn't affect interps that don't understand it
17:00:22 <oerjan> you could use negative numbers for anything you want
17:01:09 <quintopia> oerjan: that MIGHT affect some interps.

17:02:06 <b_jonas> why would it have to be numbers?
17:02:11 <b_jonas> couldn't it be a special entry?
17:02:40 <ais523> b_jonas: backwards compat
17:02:57 <ais523> is `coins like `words, but with "coin" at the end?
17:03:01 <oerjan> you can't do input with backwards compat, anyway.
17:03:07 <quintopia> ais523: ideally, input would automatically be converted into some kind of useful format, such as your "alphabets"

17:26:21 <myname> is there already a language that uses some kind of evolution?
17:28:53 <myname> as part of the concept
17:31:38 <myname> i have an idea of a metalanguage that produces keywords of the underlying language through some evolutionary rules
17:37:30 <quintopia> well, stuff like that has certainly been done. for instance the Lymia's BFJoust programs
17:42:35 <myname> well, i heard about evolutionary game theory an hour ago
17:44:14 <myname> like you have an instruction that rules for now, but because of some mutations another instruction might evolve and due to given rules might become the main population
17:47:57 <quintopia> that's not a fully-fledged idea yet :P
17:48:48 <myname> i have more details in mind, but i am on a smartphone right now, so i am too lazy to write that much details
17:49:00 <quintopia> ais523: do you think ResPairate would be TC with numcopies<=2?
17:49:22 <myname> i may just implement it after this semester is finally over
17:49:25 <ais523> quintopia: I think most likely yes, although I don't have a construction in mind
17:49:33 <b_jonas> myname: that's easy, just define a useful language and a half-useful compiler, but write its specification deliberately incomplete and remove some useful things so people want to add those as extensions,
17:49:51 <b_jonas> then variants of the language incompatible with old programs will evolve naturally as people try to fix the language

17:51:35 <ais523> b_jonas: have you seen http://esolangs.org/wiki/Snowflake
17:51:39 <ais523> it's sort of like that, except automatd
17:51:46 <ais523> the language definition fixes itself over time
17:51:53 <ais523> I don't have an interp, though
17:52:19 <b_jonas> ais523: I had glanced at it earlier, but didn't understand much of it
17:52:42 <ais523> this is a problem with my concepts that require a lot of effort to execute on
17:53:09 <ais523> (the most extreme example being Feather, which not even I understand)
17:53:14 <b_jonas> there's a "sather" language I think
17:53:27 <ais523> http://esolangs.org/wiki/Feather

17:54:17 <b_jonas> is it related to sather besides rhiming the name?
17:55:25 -!- FireFly has joined.
17:56:39 <ais523> it's basically a simple OO language that uses time travel for inheritance, is written entirely in itself (going back infinitely many layers), and is designed to look like Smalltalk except for different reasons
17:58:04 <b_jonas> time travel.... wait, I have a writeup about that
17:58:26 <b_jonas> ais523: http://www.math.bme.hu/~ambrus/pu/git-extensions
17:58:44 <b_jonas> I think that's even on-topic here
17:59:04 <ais523> b_jonas: yeah, the first paragraph reminds me a lot of Scapegoat
17:59:14 <ais523> which I have done like 2 hours of work on in the past year
18:01:02 <ais523> the infinite history thing is reminiscent of Feather, though
18:01:17 <b_jonas> ais523: yes, that's why I said time travel reminds me to it
18:01:30 <ais523> although the way it's implemented in Feather is, it goes back finitely many levels, then if you try to go past the end of it it retroactively increases the number of levels it used
18:01:35 <b_jonas> (well, besides that I explicitly mention time machine)
18:01:40 <ais523> err, or would be implemented, if anyone had a clue how to mention Feather
18:02:16 <b_jonas> right, I specifically say that: "These meta levels spring into existence lazily as you reference them, so if you reference meta^p-history for the first time, then the meta^q-history for all p < q is considered to always have contained a single default meta^p-branch."
18:02:58 <quintopia> ais523: it's not completely gone from lore tho. for instance...
18:03:06 <HackEgo> Agent “Iä” Smith is an alien with a strange allergy to avian body covering, which he is trying to retroactively prevent from ever evolving. On the 3rd of March, he's lawful good.
18:03:06 <ais523> *how to implement Feather
18:03:23 <ais523> b_jonas: Feather isn't quite the same as laziness
18:03:39 <ais523> given that it involves reconstructing the entire gamestate from scratch

18:14:47 <fungot> kmc: that is just a value of type " airbus is a big fan of avril....but this song " there
18:15:03 <quintopia> i'm thinking the non-digit symbol is the best way to add input to ResPlicate. it doesn't matter that it will cause non-compliant interps to break since, a) there's really only one published interp right now and b) if a program needs user input, what it does couldn't be emulated by the current implementation anyway.
18:15:29 <quintopia> in which case I think a construction like n ? {n symbols} is the way to go
18:15:35 <b_jonas> quintopia: well, you could have two versions of the language, one without input and one with input
18:16:09 <quintopia> b_jonas: or 90 VERSIONS OF THE LANGUAGE. RIGHT? RIGHT?
18:17:19 <b_jonas> however, try to make the langauge definition as simple as possible. if it's universal with input just queueing a byte and pushing a single number between 0 and 257, make it do that even if it's harder to program
18:17:40 <quintopia> at least java had the class to update their language such that programs are forward-compatible
18:17:41 <b_jonas> and make sure the input thing doesn't make programming easier
18:18:30 <b_jonas> forget python, how many incompatible version did _ruby_ have? over ten I think
18:18:44 <b_jonas> ruby guys are just not interested in compatibility
18:18:51 <quintopia> b_jonas: of course it's universal with (whatever input method you want) because it's universal!
18:19:09 <b_jonas> they rename methods removing the old name for as feeble reasons as deciding their name isn't perfect
18:19:53 <b_jonas> quintopia: by universal, I don't mean it should just be turing-complete, but also that it should be able to emulate any bf program
18:21:11 <quintopia> and yes, just enqueueing a byte from input would probably make it BF-complete
18:21:17 -!- Tritonio has joined.
18:21:29 <quintopia> since the n ? thing could then be done on the second pass
18:22:04 <b_jonas> I can't confirm or deny that, because I really don't understand all this tag system queue language stuff
18:25:31 -!- conehead has quit (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.).
18:29:03 <quintopia> yeah the current interpreter would interpreter 0 -1 exactly the same as 0 0, which means I could use -1 as the input
18:30:34 <nortti> would the input just add the unicode codepoint to the end or do some encoding?
18:36:38 <b_jonas> it would be better to input bytes imo
18:37:06 <b_jonas> inputting unicode code points in this language could be dangerous.
18:37:38 <b_jonas> you could also make it input bits, but that might make programming too easy
18:37:53 <nortti> it would make sense to change the output to bytes, too

22:59:07 <oerjan> FreeFull: i don't think Taneb wants constructors from outside lens
22:59:21 <oerjan> even if they're sugared
23:00:25 <oerjan> prisms are for data types with more than one constructor, mainly...
23:00:54 <shachaf> well, "structural" prisms are
23:01:22 <shachaf> but of course you can have a prism for anything that you can express as a sum
23:01:43 <shachaf> Prism' s a = exists r. s ~ (Either r a)
