Not the halting problem (which is the problem of determining whether a program halts), but a halting state of a finite automaton: a state in which the automaton has done its job and stops looking. | |

| Oct 16, 2013 at 23:16 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | Given that the author is a CS major/ex-programmer, and that the sequel is called "Rule 34", I wouldn't rule out that there's a reference. But so far after 10 mins of intense research couldn't find any proof. | |
