I think Countable can be translated to a Minsky machine? aadenboy (talk|contribs) 16:35, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Maybe? Because if decrement on zero the loop is over, so you jump out of while loop? Idk, I think multiple counters would be nesscescary (unless you want to try and store multiple in one.) --Yayimhere2(school) (talk) 16:42, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
I think I see a way to do that:
5+VALUE
2+5
3+6
4+7

3*1<     // Outer portion to break out
  2*∞<   // Decrement loop
    4*1< // Pre-check
      1*aa2<
        4& // Not zero
      >
      3& // Is zero; break out
    >
    1*aa2<
      *aa3<
        a4+1
        1&
      >
      a3+1
    >
    2+2 3+2 4+2

this program will continually decrement a5, then break out if it tries to decrement while it's zero aadenboy (talk|contribs) 21:10, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
