Topic: Is TC the dual vector space of MC?

Anonymous A started this discussion 2 years ago #114,776

Syntax is permabanned on MC, but active on TC.
Dave is permabanned on TC, but active on MC.

I'll reveal the answer next week if no one gets it.

Here are some clues:

(MC + TC)(x) = MC(x) + TC(x)
(MC*TC)(x) = MC(TC(x))
MC + (TC + GHOUL) = (MC + TC) + GHOUL
MC + TC = TC + MC
a*(MC + TC) = a*MC + a*TC
(a+b)*MC = a*MC + b*MC

what the heck, distributive and associative properties?

Are Syntax and Dave hidden variables in these equations, or are they they a and x? And what is b?

ha-haa, is there a transitive property in there

Syntax and Dave are inputs to the functions MC(x) and TC(x) which return the ban status of any given user. a and b are real or complex valued scalars.

I'm not really sure how or if it maps on to the language here. If we are talking about the equality relation as our binary relation, I believe that always has to be transitive. Possibly by definition? I had to look it up and I'm still not sure. I'm not sure if there's any other implications of transitivity in the above relations. I do feel that MC(x) may inherently be transitive, or at least trans, but I don't think this is the right direction towards solving the problem...

I see. Since (as far as I recall) nobody was ever banned from ghoul, am I right in thinking GHOUL(x) is a constant (0) and therefore an identity element of sorts?

In that case, the functions MC(x), TC(x) and GHOUL(x) would form an abelian group.

Furthermore, I hypothesize that scalars a & b could be used to measure levels of butthurt as a result of a ban.

Is syntax still being a massive creep around ducky?
