A small improvement: use a vowel to encode turns, and consonants to encode segment lengths. So each shape would be encoded by a "word", e.g. "bakitux". Brains have dedicated "word-processing units" and those are much faster than number-processing units.

- biomcgary 5y agoAbstracting into words will lead to invention of words that are disconnected from the underlying geometry (i.e., shapes that are not possible due to collisions), but have strong verbal associations. Eventually, the word thinkers will redefine the system to allows them to play word games without dealing with the pesky geometric limitations.
