Dec. 1st, 2013 11:50 pmSo I decided today to try to get some work done other than writing. But what? I could work on this hard problem that I've gotten nowhere on... or that hard problem I've gotten nowhere on... oh! I'm currently writing the paper where I explain the computational side of what I've done, so this would be a good time to go back over the code and improve it -- there's a few optimizations I've intended to implement for a long time. Well, one big one, anyway.
Surprisingly, playing around with the program, I found a bug I never noticed before: When run in "all information" mode[0], and input a number which is divisible by 3 a fair number of times, it sometimes just crashes rather than output anything.
I have no idea why this is -- well, OK, I haven't sat down and looked into it, but knowing how my code is structured[3], I already have a guess. Still. Guess I'd better fix that before worrying about how to speed things up...

[0]Meaning, give information about ||3kn|| for all k≥0, instead of just outputting the stabilization length and stable complexity.
[3]At least, I think I remember...
