Wish 202 words written by Nathan Lilienthal
Time passes from event to event before resolution.
(... e1 e2)
A promise always resolves itself.
(... (. e) e)
A try can fail.
(... (\ e) (e | f))
A wish might resolve.
(... (e .) (| e))
A lie always fails if resolved.
(... (e \) (| f))
I try to wish to \(\epsilon\).
\[\dot\epsilon \ \cdots \ \cdot \ | \ \lambda\]I wish to try to \(\epsilon\).
\[\dot\epsilon\cdot \ \cdots\]I try then lie about \(\epsilon\).
\[\dot\epsilon \ \cdots \ \underset{\cdot}{\epsilon}\]I try \(\epsilon_1\) then lie about \(\epsilon_2\).
\[\dot\epsilon_1 \ \cdots \ \underset{\cdot}{\epsilon_2}\]I promise to lie to try to wish for \(\epsilon\).
\[\cdot\underset{\cdot}{\dot\epsilon}\cdot\]Notes
- \(\cdot\) kinda fits with context in “I try to wish”.
- Duplicate actions are tricky to write (e.g. “I try to try”).
- Precedence is a mess.
- Must time pass between verbs?
