this doesnt seem well defined, can somebody explain? --Yayimhere2(school) (talk) 16:11, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- I feel like it's well definedUser:Gaham (Discord:glebovsky_)
- it isn't defined at all? what does it mean for a language to be in "zero dimensions"? —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 22:13, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
- a single register is zero dimensional, a memory tape is one dimensional, a 2d array is two dimensional, etc. dragon eater SIX SEVEN 03:24, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
- That's what I would expect, but then I don't understand what makes these languages zero-dimensional. For example, wouldn't Unary be one-dimensional, not zero? –PkmnQ (talk) 03:35, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
- Worse, it makes it unclear whether brainfuck is 1D or 2D, for brainfuck can emulate any 2D language. This means that dimensionality is a matter of how we choose to present the semantics rather than something structural, which would be an unacceptable conclusion.
