So first, we gotta start digging into biochemistry, BUT, we have to treat biochemistry like the finite-state machinery that it is. And not the abstract mathematical concept, but the simple machines of physics (lever, pulley, screw, etc) to form active mechanisms like this lock:
![An example of a simple mechanism that can be modeled by a state machine is a turnstile.[4][5] A turnstile, used to control access to subways and amusement park rides, is a gate with three rotating arms at waist height, one across the entryway. Initially the arms are locked, blocking the entry, preventing patrons from passing through. Depositing a coin or token in a slot on the turnstile unlocks the arms, allowing a single customer to push through. After the customer passes through, the arms are locked again until another coin is inserted.
Considered as a state machine, the turnstile has two possible states: Locked and Unlocked.[4] There are two possible inputs that affect its state: putting a coin in the slot (coin) and pushing the arm (push). In the locked state, pushing on the arm has no effect; no matter how many times the input push is given, it stays in the locked state. Putting a coin in – that is, giving the machine a coin input – shifts the state from Locked to Unlocked. In the unlocked state, putting additional coins in has no effect; that is, giving additional coin inputs does not change the state. A customer pushing through the arms gives a push input and resets the state to Locked.
The turnstile state machine can be represented by a state-transition table, showing for each possible state, the transitions between them (based upon the inputs given to the machine) and the outputs resulting from each input:
The turnstile state machine can also be represented by a directed graph called a state diagram (above). Each state is represented by a node (circle). Edges (arrows) show the transitions from one state to another. Each arrow is labeled with the input that triggers that transition. An input that doesn't cause a change of state (such as a coin input in the Unlocked state) is represented by a circular arrow returning to the original state. The arrow into the Locked node from the black dot indicates it is the initial state.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v2ro4utbnjevjbvwhxz3mmyb/bafkreicdj6pzxhfq7hy64myavnbs6bgm3metwjk3o74no4w4cq3cb2qygy@jpeg)
I am once again reminding yall that the future we want and could actually have isnt the scifi nonsense of space colonization. Its that we could all be disney princesses having our days filled with fun interactions with wildlife.
But nooooo yall wanna put more computers in everything for no reason

Explaining why "say her name" is not for white people is not divisive. What's divisive is continuing to do it and self righteously talk over your comrades and allies even when they patiently try to explain to you why it's hurtful and harmful.

I’m kind of over the whole “America is bad, at least my country is good” as if the rise of a xenophobic right wing isn’t a broadly Western problem and every country tut-tutting about the US’s fall doesn’t have a failing neoliberal order constantly in tug-of-war with The Racism Party

I see a plot with like 4 data points and you just slapped a curve on it. Why did you do that? Yay, you made a function...what does it mean? You suggest this polynomial fully describes the problem from 4 data points?
Or do you just think it makes the plot look more 'science-y'?

It makes as much sense as claiming that copying or reformatting a text document is accomplished by the computer reading it and writing it back down - even if you put 'reading' and 'writing' in bullshit qualifying scare quotes, it's a complete misrepresentation of what's going on
