Yesterday I shared a little program called the Mark V. Shaney Junior at github.com/susam/mvs. It is a minimal implementation of a Markov text generator inspired by the legendary Mark V. Shaney program from the 1980s. If you don't know about Mark V. Shaney, read more about it on the Wikipedia article Mark V. Shaney. It is a very small program that favours simplicity over efficiency. As a ...
Cryptids are Turing Machines with simple rules but hard mathematical problems, often Collatz-like behavior. They are unsolved and presumed hard, making it difficult to determine their halting problem.
