Before and after autofill
I tried to work out what was common to all work on a computer and then I realised it was just a large Rubik's cube and sliding puzzle game of moving things around | |
You have a start state (before)
You have an end state (after)
The computer works out the movements between those two states and infers all the intermediary states
I actually implemented this with A* graph search algorithm
Imagine a GUi where you can refer to things like a spreadsheet - this
is the before state.
Then you say where things should end up..
The computer works out how to move things from where they are to where everything goes.

My A* implementation of this idea [chronological, Dec 06 2023]
Where does the idea stand in relation to *this* sort of thing?

So ... you've reinvented declarative programming? |

Am I to have a large rubix cube in my pocket, to use to look at kitten photos on twatfacemazongle? |

You don't even really need the 'before' part. You just need the 'after,' which as we all know is 42. |

Wow such a negative reaction :'( :'( cry cry |

Yes, it's similar to declarative programming. |
|
| |
You say where things are to begin with and say where they should end up and all the instructions in the middle are generated. I would love this. |

//Yes, it's similar to declarative programming.// |

OK, so how is it *different* from declarative programming? In the idea, which is the new part? |
