Oh, I didn't notice when this got uploaded! "Still Works" is there to show that Win would've worked normally if it was ever in a level. Half the Feeling section is about complete jank because that's what Feeling is. As you saw, even the most basic variations on x feeling y is not y *don't work,* so I didn't have as many options to make it interesting. The pack as a whole would probably be more interesting if Infinite Loop was actually designed to handle every case in which it's logically an infinite loop, but it wasn't designed as a game mechanic, it was designed as a failsafe.

[@delta3244]

19:43 - innate: Bear in mind that "X feeling Y ..." rules only affect objects which are feeling Y. The reason e.g. "tree feeling pull is not pull" did not cause an infinite loop is because there were no trees feeling pull in the first place, so no individual tree got stuck in an infinite loop. "Text feeling push is not push" caused each piece of text to reparse its own rules in a loop, because each piece of text felt push so became not push so didn't feel push so stopped being not push so felt push.... The trees simply weren't pull, so didn't need to reparse their instructions.

[@circuitcraft2399]

That wasn't the confusing part. Icely tried "tree NOT feeling push is push." If the tree isn't feeling push, then it becomes push. Otherwise, there is no rule making it push.

[@circuitcraft2399]

As far as I can tell, here is the resolution: remember that an infinite loop is created when "no coherent set of rules can be determined." In the *very particular* case of "X not feeling Y is Y," the game determines that, while "X is not Y" is contradictory, "X is Y" is consistent. Therefore, it settles on giving the object the property and moving on. Internally, it's probably spaghetti-code weirdness; perhaps losing a property doesn't force a rescan to determine if the object should still have the property or something.

[@Ka_muu]

@@circuitcraft2399 my view is that "X feeling Y is not Y" is one whole statement. The game reads it only that one statement and then moves on. If you have two different statements that change each other it can cause a loop but the game will only go and check previous statements that have changed as part of a new statement being made. That's what's happening at 26:15 , the game reads the top-left statement as one whole to determine "bird will be float" and then the next statement as "the bird is float, so the bird is not going to be made float from this statement (but the bird is still float)". THIS then causes the game to ask "Okay, so does this change a previous statement?", it reads the top-left and sees "Ah, the bird is float, therefore BIRD NOT FEELING FLOAT is false and therefore bird is not float." the following float statements seen later on make sense if each new statement it reads re-checks all previous statements once and only once for each new statement parsed, maybe because none of them ever say "not float" which would force any instances of "is float" to not work, which is why "not float" causes a loop whereas many instances of "is float" won't cause loops.

[@circuitcraft2399]

​@@Ka_muu that wasn't the confusing statement, though. The "not" is in a different position. Re-read my first comment. Edit: I agree that "X feeling Y is not Y" is a contradiction if and only if there is some "X is Y." We observe this in "Unfeeling," under slightly weirder conditions. The problem is "X not feeling Y is Y," which should be unstable in both configurations, but causes the bizarre behavior of "unfeeling" instead. It is almost certainly a bug.

I recreated this level arranged as it is in the solution except baba is one square to the left. I put a CIRCLE underneath the ON and added BABA ABOVE CIRCLE IS WIN. To my surprise the game doesn't do the sensible thing and skip the infinite loop check if you win. Instead, both happen!

[@keylimepie3143]

I actually made a level concept around making an infinite loop and winning at the same time. I have a trapped flag that in order to free creates the phrase "Flag feeling win is not win". So when you try to create "flag is win" you get an infinite loop before you can get to the flag. But you can create "flag on rocket is win" ("rocket is you" btw) and so the infinite loop only happens once you get to the flag and win. (also there's a preventative rule of "rocket is not win")

[@stnfwds]

Ah thanks! I was reading Near Group as only needing to be next to one element of Group, when actually it should’ve worked something like Near All where it needs every object in the level to work

[@Fan-wp4tj]

Let's say group is keke and baba near group is group, when baba comes near keke baba also becomes group which means group = baba, keke but baba can't be near itself unless there is another baba near it, which mean group is no longer near baba, making baba not group but now again group is just keke so this process is repeated inf times and makes a infinity loop

"X is Word" makes it so that [X object] can be used as the word X itself in sentences. if Text is Word, that would theoretically mean that every [Text object] could be used as the word Text... which would be really weird. it would, for example, make "Baba is You" also function as "Text is You"... and the same would go for "is is You" or "You is You" or "without is You" etc. etc. alternatively, perhaps "X is Word" means that [X object] acts in sentences like the thing that refers to it specifically. so "Text is Word" would, for example, make it so that the statement "Baba is You" also means "BabaText is You", because "Baba" is also acting as Baba metatext, which defines behavior for the "Baba" text. using these justifications, it's fair to say that "Text is not Word" does nothing because that's just default behavior anyway.

[@mertaliyigit3288]

I think second explanation is correct. In metatext, TEXT (N) IS BABA for example turns TEXT (N-1) into baba. So noun text points to its child. But baba is word makes object baba point to itself. Baba is you, text is word would make you control text_baba

When text is stacked on conditions, the game can get confused. For example, BABA (ROBOT/ON) KEKE IS YOU will parse as both BABA ON KEKE IS YOU, and KEKE IS YOU. This works with WORD objects as well as it does with text. So EYE ON EYE IS NOT WORD is made, but when EYE IS WORD, it confuses the ON and makes EYE IS NOT WORD.

Creator here. This game has mod support, and you are 100% allowed to inject custom code into a levelpack.

This was only slightly more complicated than simply putting the function in the correct place.

There are different "Too Complex" triggers with different reasons behind them. Most of them relate to game lag. (SPOILER) However, one exception is the clause where you can't transform a LEVEL into more than 50 objects at once - that was added to prevent you from softlocking yourself by transforming a LEVEL into so many objects that the map is inherently "Too Complex" and therefore unusable.
