Talk:Optimal ET sequence: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

: You're right. ''Val list'' isn't the best name for this thing. Imo ''list'' should be avoided and ''sequence'' is a good substitute. ''ET sequence'' is a name I reckon very proper. I'm afraid further constraints like error-decreasing or GPV are less essential, but are somewhat heuristic choices that help to shape a neat sequence. The error-decreasing constraint is good at limiting the length of the sequence. It's possible to make another sequence that's quite similar but different – the MOS numbers for the optimal tuning. The GPV constraint is handy in that it makes the sequence terminate. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 19:14, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

:: Oh, interesting — I didn't know the GPV constraint made the sequence terminate. Reviewing your code, it looks more like one of a couple arbitrary thresholds/ranges are ending the search; even `find_next_gpv` doesn't seem to have an exit condition related to having found the final GPV. But perhaps I'm misinterpreting one or many things here :) When you have a minute, would you be able to explain how/why this is or what you meant? And also, does the article need a correction with regards to that fact, then? I wrote, "No standard beginning or ending cutoff to the list has been specified", but if the GPV constraint forces termination, then I'd think that'd constitute such a "standard ending" to the list.

:: After I understand this particular detail, I'll make a brief post on the Facebook Xenwiki Work Group and the Discord wiki channel to see if anyone has any dispute with renaming this "ET sequence", which I agree should suit this feature well (and better than "val list"). --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 19:36, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
