So many other things are also non-binary, but people insist that not being 100% on their side means you’re a million percent on the extreme opposite hateful wrong side.
Maybe it can be represented by 1qbit
literally discussed with my friends the other day that gender is like a vector in Hilbert space
There are
10
kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don’t.There are
10
kinds of people in this world. Those who get ternary; those who don’t; those who thought this was going to be a binary jokeThere are
10
kinds of people in this world. Those who get quaternary; those who don’t; those who thought this was going to be a ternary joke; those who can see where this is going…I might be a slow learner but I’m catching on…
every base is base
10
And what are the other e?
My gender is e, which can be represented by neither integers nor floating points.
Can it be expressed or represented approximately in IEEE-754 form?
Always approximated, never truly represented 😞
Unless your encoding has a special value that, by definition, is euler’s constant :p
Good point. Specifically code point U+2107 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ℇ
Ah so ur gender can be represented in UTF 8.
Everything can be represented approximatively.
e = π = 3
Obviously, there is True, False and FILE_NOT_FOUND
Better than having your gender datatype being a Bobool3ol and evaluating to “Tru(🍒🎂🍒)lse”.
Choose one class of gender:
- Natural
- Rational
- Irrational
- Complex
this is p-adic gender erasure
It is definitely complex numbers in polar form
We may have discovered gender entropy, Shannon would be proud
I’ve been thinking about this now and again. IMO gender, if one insists on tracking it at all (which I mostly find counterproductive), would need to be a vector / tuple of floating-point values. The components would be something like:
- Sexual Development Index: Encodes chromosomal sex, genitalia, and other primary sexual characteristics (X/Y chromosome ratio).
- Hormonal Balance & Secondary Sexual Characteristics: Combines hormonal levels and the resulting secondary traits (body hair, muscle mass, etc.).
- Brain Structure: A dimension indicating how a person’s brain structure aligns with typical male or female patterns.
- Gender Identity: A measure of self-identified gender, representing the psychological and social dimension.
- Fertility/Intersex Traits: A combined measure of fertility potential and the presence of intersex traits (e.g., ambiguous genitalia, mixed gonadal structures, etc.).
Ideally it would track the specific genes that code for all of the above factors, but unfortunately science hasn’t got those down yet.
A good way would be to create as many variables as possible that map anything relevant, genes, upbringing, sexual and gender expression, etc., and then doing a PCA to reduce the defining vector to as few elements as possible.
I like how you think but I’m not sure if that alone will hold water. A variable can vary wildly even though it’s not very relevant to the property you’re interested in, and PCA would consider such a variable to be very significant. Perhaps a neural network could find a latent space. But ideally we want the components to have some intuitive meaning for humans.
Also genes is only half of it. Expression of genes is another, complicated story.
Gender Identity, now with linear algebra. Those 3b1b videos are going to be super useful, but not in the way the author intended.
These are all measurable except 4
Gender is not a boolean value, it’s a variable.
🚫
const gender
👉
var gender
khm, khm
let gender
please don’t use deprecated syntax
May be gdscript
And liable to type conversion errors and precision loss.
Jesus, why’d you have to bring floating point and machine precision into the conversation? Now I won’t sleep. And the nightmares will be worse than before.
A boolean variable?

There are 2⁶⁴ genders

As it is not stable I’d go with a database.
Sqlite.
Better go with MySQL to ensure foreign keys comstrains
any “n-bit value” fails to model nontermination. clearly a pointed dCPO.
