Turing Machine Lear

  1. I'm not going to lie, I really love this idea. Could you explain the mechanics of it? I don't understand, but I would really love to because it seems like a clever idea. I laughed at the previous one!

  2. In act four obviously Glauster is more of a main character, that is why the previous one is more developed...

    A turning machine is basically used to define what we consider "computable". The above figure is actual more of a Non-Deterministic Finite Automaton but the idea is the same. The way that one stores what has been seen is through state, so each circle represents a state. In the case of Glauster or Lear a series of events that have brought them to the current state. In order to move to the next state some input must be consumed, in the play the input is some event or action or train of thought.

    It basically, in this form, is a way to show the series of events that have occurred to these characters and see the progression of each.

    After all the input has been consumed if the macine is in an accept state we say the input was in the language, or if not in an accept state we reject and say the input was not in the language. So for Lear and Glauster at the end of the input(the Play) we would accept saying these events define the Characters of Lear and Glauster.
