which changes dynamically based on whether her expectations are met or not, but I've never had a change to look into this problem formally

quite a monologue of myself :)

@Ilya So what you do involes some kind of probability logic? I have seen some stuff by Keisler and Hoover, who used model theoretic methods to develop an equivalent to the finite dimensional distributions for adapted processes.

@Michael: I have to leave right now, sorry

No prob. I should go to sleep anyways. Bye, Ilya!

Good night, folks!

I'm having some trouble getting some Mathematica code to run. I'm guessing it has to do with variable scope. Here is a code example:

i = 2; k1 = 2; k2 = 1;
For[k3 = 0, k1 + 2 k2 + 3 k3 <= i + 5, k3++,
 If[k1 + 2 k2 + 3 k3 = i + 5,
  cur = cur + i!/(k1! k2! k3!)
  ]
 ]
cur

I get numerous errors along the lines of Set::write : Tag Plus in 0+2+2 is Protected.

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Oh, let cur=0; go at the top of that snippet.

I will just leave this open parenthesis here, hope I am not annoying anyone

(

Er, ok, figured that one out. Just needed == instead of = in the If. But I'm still producing another error with my code. I'll have to try to create another short example for it.

@AntonioVargas There is a Mathematica SE and attendant chat room.

@DylanMoreland Yes, but it was a simple question and the chatroom isn't active right now.

@DylanMoreland But thank you :)

@N3buchadnezzar Why would you do such a heinous thing?

@robjohn Because just now I mentioned the use of an odd number of parentheses?

Someone dastardly may close the parentheses at any time and therefore relegate all of the interim discussion to tangential parenthetical commentary.

What about...

now we need a time traveler or a hacker to fix the stability of the chatroom

or I could flag you, and get the offending symbol removed..

I've just spent an hour typing up a solution to a question only to finally reread the question and realize my answer is completely irrelevant.

@AntonioVargas Link?
