Rambling about pi calculus

I haven't actually shared this blog with anyone, so this is the perfect place to write stream-of-consciousness about my latest semi-formed ideas. I'm trying to combine linear logic and pi calculus. I'm writing a whole database full of proofs in this system,  although at the time of writing it is quite incomplete. This idea started out when I was searching for a way to model pi calculus. After realizing that classical logic is ill-equipped to reason about stateful procedures, I eventually discovered linear logic. The terms of linear logic can be interpreted as games against an adversary, with linear implication denoting the adversary's choice of moves. They can also be interpreted as resources traded between various sources and sinks, even alongside the game-semantic interpretation. So, I thought to myself, what if the games are between a programmer and a computer? (Some background on the two systems: Pi calculus can be thought of as a minimalistic, yet Turing-complete, ...

Plans for the future

Hey did you notice I have a website? Maybe you didn't. Here, I'll give you a link to it:  puzzlepear.com  You should check it out sometime. Now that I have a website, I have many plans for it. They include, but are not limited to: Make a game about the fourth dimension Make a game about quantum logic Make a game about linear logic Make a game about Pi calculus Make a game about knot theory Make a game about cellular automata (in particular, S345/B2/4) Make a game about time travel Get a certain Panda to make an RPG with me Get a better theme for this site Speaking of that last one, it has come to my attention that this theme has a STICKY HEADER . We apologise for this grievous error, and are currently working to correct it.

Hello world

Hello! Having a website is like the cool thing to do nowadays, right? Well, now I have one. Right now, it's barren, but I'll move some of my projects from Github to here soon. Later, I plan to post games here! Stay tuned, everyone.
