| 2026-06-24 01:48:16 +0000 | <monochrom> | Yeah how to visualize 6 dimensions? Visualize n dimensions, then set n=6. >:) |
| 2026-06-24 01:47:20 +0000 | <EvanR> | that was a joke in analogy to solve the problem for all n then set n = 2 |
| 2026-06-24 01:46:55 +0000 | <jreicher> | EvanR: I don't think anybody said "solve for complexity" in the general case |
| 2026-06-24 01:46:38 +0000 | <EvanR> | for any function on naturals f, if there not existing an n such that f(n)=0 would be a contradiction, then there's some n where f(n) = 0 |

| 2026-06-24 01:44:12 +0000 | <monochrom> | Err sorry, what is markov's principle again? |
| 2026-06-24 01:43:44 +0000 | <EvanR> | if you base the argument on that, it might actually be convincing |
| 2026-06-24 01:43:15 +0000 | <EvanR> | monochrom, ~~axiom of choice~~ markov's principle |
| 2026-06-24 01:42:41 +0000 | <EvanR> | monochrom, to solve for totality first solve for complexity then set n = finite |

| 2026-06-24 01:17:55 +0000 | <jreicher> | A type system that checked complexity would be really interesting. |

| 2026-06-24 01:12:13 +0000 | <monochrom> | (It is not like you have a non-constructive proof of termination using the axiom of choice, is it? >:) ) |
| 2026-06-24 01:11:42 +0000 | <monochrom> | Almost every termination proof hides a time bound so it is counterproductive to throw the time bound away. |

| 2026-06-24 01:09:49 +0000 | <monochrom> | IMO totality is never going to be worthwhile because, for the same price, you should go for big-Theta complexity instead. I.e., don't bother proving termination; if anything, go straight for proving linear time or log time or whatever. Who cares about termination if it ends up being triple-expoenential time. |
| 2026-06-24 01:08:21 +0000 | <monochrom> | My answer to "why you accept static and strong typing but not totality, it sounds inconsistent" is that trade-offs and cost-vs-benefit considerations are consistent. Strong static typing gives me a lot of benefits with very little cost and/or inconvenience. Totality is a lot of cost for what it's worth. |
