Notes

How does markov junior works ?

• From a model file we create an interpreter
  • an interpreter contains a grid that holds the state of the current space
  • an interpreter contains the possible values taken by the input and output of the different rules
  • an interpreter contains the root (the top node) of the model and the current node that needs to be run
  • it also contains the seed for the generation
  • running the interpreter for i steps and with the s seed is running the current node i time or until the current node is nulled

What is a node ?

• A node can be a branch or a rule node
• A branch is either a sequence or a markov chain
  • a sequence is a branch for which all the children are run sequentially (after each success the next node to be ran is the next node)
  • a markov chain is a branch for which all the children are tentatively run each time it's ran (after each success the next node to be ran is the first node)
• A rule node is a collection of rules

What is a rule ?

• A rule is a transformation done from input to output
