Is it 8-bit bounded BF or not? in the TC proof. --Yayimhere2(school) (talk) 12:38, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Seemingly it's unbounded values (but with bounded amount of cells). –PkmnQ (talk) 12:41, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
Yea ok. Then its three cell BF turing completeness --Yayimhere2(school) (talk) 12:55, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
Nested BF loops do not map to 14 properly:
BF:
       [.....[.....].....]
       |       ends here ^
14 (if / skips until the nearest \):
       /(..../(..../)\.../)\
       |   ends here ^
14 (if / skips until the matching \):
       /(..../(..../)\.../)\
       |          never ends ...>
So, the mapping table from BF to 14 and Turing completeness proof should be reworked. --Blashyrkh (talk) 21:56, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
I believe this is a proper mapping: [ -> (/ and ] -> )\. And it must be explicitly stated that / skips not until any \ but until matching \. Then it's Turing complete. --Blashyrkh (talk) 22:35, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
I'm actually kinda sensitive to swear words --Marcus 2n2 (talk) 12:29, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
Hows that relevant here? --Yayimhere2(school) (talk) 19:08, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
Would it be fine to remove the swear? --Marcus 2n2 (talk) 02:26, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
sure --dragoneater67 talk contribs (mobile) 02:47, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Nested / and \?

Does / skip until the nearest \ or until the matching one? --Blashyrkh (talk) 18:02, 18 September 2026 (UTC)

I answered this question above, but it's not confirmed by the language's author. --Blashyrkh (talk) 22:35, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
Yeah (I'm the author) --the nit is typing... 04:47, 19 September 2026 (UTC)
