and how far they've come writing the complete works of Shakespeare by hitting these random letters. So you'd see a virtual monkey on the screen typing a few million letters a second (the hands, paws, whatever would just be a blur obviously) and at the bottom of the screen you'd see how far the digital monkey has come writing the complete works of Shakespeare.
Once it's completed it, the screen resets and it starts over. So you might happen across the exhibit and see the little guy typing away and below the screen says:
"ACT I SCENE I. Elsinore. A platform before the castle. FRANCISCO at his post. Enter to him BERNARDO BERNARDO Who's there? FRANCISCO Nay, answer me: stand, and unfold yourself. BERNARDO Long live the kin [ ]
(the last box shows the various letters being "typed". When the correct letter, "G" is hit, it finishes the word "king" and moves to the next space.
Unlike the thought experiment, this wouldn't reset every time they misspelled something, it would just type random letters in one spot until it got it right. This is a slightly more practical version of an old idea to use real monkeys.
There's probably somebody smarter than me out there that could pretty precisely predict how long it would take to do this. I'll give it a shot.
So for one sentence with say 100 letters, let's average it taking 13 tries, (the middle of 26) to get the right letter, 1 million letters a second, maybe 80,000 correct letters a second so 800 sentences a second? 118,406 lines in the complete works (yes, that's actually on the internet, you can look it up) so maybe 2 1/2 minutes for super monkey to, using random letters, type the complete works of Shakespeare.
That is probably so wildly off as to be embarrassing, but it would be a way to take the incredibly unfathomable concept of how fast modern computers are and make it somewhat tangible.
Just occurred to me by lines they probably don't mean sentences, they mean the line the character says, like "Yorick's dead, that sucks." so divide my estimate by about 5 or so. It'll still be wildly off but that's not the point.-- doctorremulac3, Jul 18 2021 Slightly less practical version. Monkeys_20Writing_2..._20Of_20ShakespeareBut with real monkeys.

And I also think that the random generator / monkey is kind of irrelevant, the important thing is the "selecter" who looks at the random output and selects what is useful or interesting.
Basile's Library of Babel website tries to articulate things liek this but I think his problem is that his algorithm deliberately scrambles the outputs to make it look more random than it really is.
Part of the fun of these things is the combinatorial explosion of big numbers, but we can keep things manageable by using smaller examples. Instead of waiting for the complete works, we wait for one line, and then extrapolate.
Consider your example line, "Yorick's dead, that sucks." 27 keypresses for Monkey to type that.

A lot of the problem depends on defining your character set, I have not included accents, ligatures, numerals, or other punctuation, but that is arbitrary. it makes a difference to the calculations.

at which point the selector shouts "stop!" and everyone parties like mad, cracks open champagne, does lines of cocaine, dances to exhaustion to loud music, kisses and possibly fornicates with the nearest sexy woman / man (delete as appropriate), and generally forgets why they were even there.-- pocmloc, Jul 18 2021 Hmm, hadn't considered lower and upper case, that doubles everything. Punctuation too, yea, that's gonna keep that monkey busy.
So the complete works, maybeeeeee... 10 minutes?
Now this would be incredibly boring to watch because all you'd see is thousands of words a minute blasting by the screen so maybe there's be a zoom in (slow down) function where you could watch what's actually happening. Like a hold button or something that slows it to readable speed to see something like Poc's very impressive annotation rather than just a blur.-- doctorremulac3, Jul 18 2021 Don't forget to factor in upper and lower case, some italics and of course line spacing for the sonnets and there are numerals as well. The permutations are now beyond comprehension. Ask a mathematician.-- xenzag, Jul 18 2021 I don't know any of those. But I'm guessing if I contacted one they'd be happy to have some human interaction.
Okay that was mean. I'm sure they go out on Saturday nights just like everybody else.-- doctorremulac3, Jul 18 2021 //So you'd see a virtual monkey on the screen typing a few million letters a second//
I want to see the 20 million FPS video card.-- Voice, Jul 18 2021 I answered a quora question about pi and when we would get any sequence repeated. Got me thinking and simplifying. In the decimal system i have ten options of digits so by the eleventh there must be a single recurrnce of one of those numbers. During the 10th digit its 9 out of 10 chances while at the beginning its 1 out of ten. Averaging its 50 50 right? For two-digit numbers ther are 100 possibilities including 00. Averaging 50% 50% but after laying down ummm. Lets see. We can compress redundant numbers. 00 1 02 11 20 22 thats 11 out of 18 digits.. For all 10 digits thats 01020304... 09112131… 18 1922324...29334...39445... 49556...667 6869 7787 98899 Every 10 numbers, I use 3 less digits so 10+9+8...+1 - .5*5 = 52.5 After writing 53 two digit numbers i get a recurrence and by the 25th we are up to 50%.chance of gettin a repeated two digit sequence. I could simplify that by seeing all numbers as a 50% chance of repeating.
With 3 digit there are 1000 numbers. Each with the equivalent of 50% chance of being a repeated number. After 520 numbers there must be a repeated one.
For four digits there are 10,000 numbers and after 5200 there must be a second one.repeated.
The rule: after 52% of log the count of digits in each number (or more simply: 1 followed by zero's the length of the number) we must have a repeated sequence of digits ie a recurring number.
For sentences and words and letters there are additional complexity bringing up the resulting expected disrance until receiving a recurrnce.
Including the space quotemarks parenthesis capital and lowercase letters there ate many more symbols than the 10 digits. Lets say around 60. So instead of 10 to the power of the number of characters in the phrase it will be 60 to that power.
Since its monkeys pounding randomly on the keyboard chances of them writinng the word the from the phrase the oxford dictionary are 60*60*60 which is one in 216000 not that bad but getting the next word with the space would multiply the options up to 60 to the power of 10! And the next word may be chosen one out of 60^21.at 2 characters per second, don't forget they are pounding on the keyboard, Thats about 1^16 years for a million monkeys. Enough years for monkeys to evolve into intelligent beings through artificial selection and understand what they wrote.
The only problem is where do you find a million monkeys in captivity that are not going extinct by their owners with the assistance of PITA and how do you cause them to continuously pound on the keyboard? Unless you consider us and our halfbakery activities as random pounding.-- pashute, Jul 19 2021 //I want to see the 20 million FPS video card// Well, there are femto-second pulse lasers, so in theory you could build an array of those to create a (low-res) display; sequencing properly would be the hard part. Probably needs an optical computer processor...-- neutrinos_shadow, Jul 19 2021 You can go to Basile's Library of Babel website and click on "random" as many times as you like to get a stream of random texts. My suggestion was that the random texts be sorted alphabetically, so that each text is surrounded by near identical texts differing only in the final few digits. My brief excerpts of a brief passage show how infuriating this could be.
My question still stands though, the issue is not really the generation of the complete possibility-space of texts, but rather the identification and halting at the desired text.
Basile's implementation does this in a kind of reverse way, in that if you paste the desired text into the search field, the algorithm processes it and returns the text that you put in. My sorted organisation does this much more idiotically than Basile's but that just shows that the entire concept is idiotic.
The esteemed [Dr].'s proposal here seems to shrink the problem down to selecting or identifying the letter required rather than the passage. This makes it very simple to the point of unsatisfying at the implementation level.
For example take our sample passage that we wish to "find": "Yorick's dead, that sucks."; we first want to find the character "Y". Let's go: a A b B c C d D e E f F g G h H i I j J k K l L m M n N o O p P q Q r R s S t T u U v V w W x X y Y Got it!
Now hold that character and search for the next character which is "o": a A b B c C d D e E f F g G h H i I j J k K l L m M n N o Excellent. What's next...?
Is this a fair summary of the proposed process?
And if so, is this not basically how a daisy-wheel printer works?-- pocmloc, Jul 19 2021 Yes, that's it. The other thing I guess would be to just have random letters blasting along and when they hit in sequence light them up.
So only show something if it at random comes up with an A, then an l, another a and an s for "Alas".
You could then chose how picky you'd be. For instance, you could use that to fine the word "the" and past it in every occurance. This would be possibly a little more interesting. Then I suppose you could have a graphic showing the complete works of Shakespeare, say one red dot for every work that turns green when it's been randomly spelled. Then have a percentage at the top of the screen.
That seems a lot more interesting.
Another way would just have it be in sequence. So of a play starts "Hey Yorick, what's up bro?" You'd see "Hey" when random letters spelled "Hey", then move to Yorick, and only pop up that when the scrolling randomly pulled up a Y, o, r, i, c and k in sequence.
Seems like at ever millions of trys a second that might take quite a while. Be interesting though.-- doctorremulac3, Jul 19 2021 This system relies on a "filter" that is ALREADY the works of Shakespeare. What it really should do is randomly generate every letter for the size of the work/s for each attempt, and only stop if the whole thing fits.-- neutrinos_shadow, Jul 19 2021 Here's a question, if you have it just write at random such that each letter has to fall into place throughout the whole works, isn't it the exact same chance that you'd compose what would have been his next complete works just at random?
Mind blown.-- doctorremulac3, Jul 19 2021 [doctorremulac3], yes. Here's a broom. Some bits of your mind went over there, under the desk ->-- neutrinos_shadow, Jul 19 2021 Let’s see. Hamlet is roughly 30,000 words. Average length of words in English, 5 letters, although perhaps Shakespeare used longer-than-average words, so say 6. Plus one character (per word) for a space/punctuation - roughly 200,000 characters. Choices of character: 26 upper case, 26 lower case, 10 for digits, 10 for punctuation.
That’s 72^200000 permutations, too big for easy calculation.
Just to get an order-of-magnitude idea of how big…
Say there’s 100 billion stars in our galaxy and each one (on average) has a planet. So that’s 10^11 planets. Say each planet has 100 billion monkeys with typewriters. That’s 10^22 monkeys. Each monkey lives 10 billion years, typing a billion characters a year. That’s 10^41 characters in total. Even if we take every galaxy in the visible universe (roughly 100 billion), filled with typewriting monkeys, for the entire age of the universe, they might achieve the first 50 characters or so of Hamlet.-- Frankx, Jul 19 2021 … of course, if you base the reward function on how close the output is to the original, and allow the reward to be producing baby monkeys, you get there much quicker. It’s happened at least once in the history of the universe already.-- Frankx, Jul 19 2021 [Frankx] its not the random generation that's interesting, its the selection.
Your numbers give us every possible text. But we don't want every possible text, we want just one text: Hamlet.
Its very similar to the lottery. The machine is not meant to produce every possible combination of six balls.It is only meant to produce the specific combination on your ticket. Whether it does or not is due to selection bias in the machine operator.-- pocmloc, Jul 20 2021 Hmm, I want one of your lottery tickets.
If your system is just randomly bashing through the characters until the right one pops up, it's trivially easy.
72 x 200,000 = roughly 14 million.
If the monkey types a million characters a second, it'll finish in 14 seconds. To anyone watching, it'll just look like the text of Hamlet being typed out.-- Frankx, Jul 20 2021 Right so then its a daisy wheel printer, or one of those flap number displays, each position in turn cycles through the repertory of characters until the required one appears at which point the "selector" stops the cycling.
The lottery machine works by spewing out a sequence of balls, which are each in turn picked up off the floor and replaced in the top of the machine, until a ball with one of my numbers appears, in which case it is placed in the results tray. It doesn't take long for my numbers to be all in the results tray at which point I win meelions.-- pocmloc, Jul 20 2021 Also I'd just like to point out that if it actually is monkeys pounding the keys of typewriters, there is going to be a distribution curve of the frequency of letters, e.g. I would expect to get more Hs, Gs, Js and Fs than Qs, As, or Ps. Also that capital letters require a double press (or shift lock) so there will be a lot more fs than Fs (though Shakespeare also uses more lower case letters than upper case). There will however be a lot more numbers than punctuation marks, and I would guess Shakespeare used more punctuation than numerals. We need a statistical analysis of monkey arm reach location preference, typewriter character distribution maps, and a statistical analysis of character use in Shakespeare's prose. Indeed, we also need to consider what edition we are aiming for. The First Folio, or the Quarto, or a modern edition such as Riverside or Everyman, or what?-- pocmloc, Jul 20 2021 Perhaps different species of monkey have different neuro-motor preference for handedness and spatial orientation and reach, which would affect the expected distribution of typed characters.-- pocmloc, Jul 20 2021 The advantage of having it generate every permutation is that not only will you have Hamlet, and every other work Shakespeare ever wrote, you'll also have all the works that he never got around to writing. And all the 200,000 character works of - Hemmingway, Marx, Dickens, Tolstoy... the lyrics of every Beatles songs (including the ones never written)... and the answers to every question... the actual correct Unified Theory... the perfect (and implementable) guide to solving all Humanity's problems... a design and implementation method for a superintelligent altruistic AI...-- Frankx, Jul 20 2021 [frankx] see link-- pocmloc, Jul 20 2021 Need to have multiple monkeys - so we can have a nice realistic controversy over authorship claims-- lurch, Jul 20 2021 How about betting on them?

It's a stunningly realistic robot but I think they could have left that last feature out.-- doctorremulac3, Jul 20 2021 Yes! I'm loving the image of multiple monkeys racing to complete individual works.-- Frankx, Jul 21 2021 Does sort of give you a reason to watch doesn't it? Otherwise it's just an animated monkey and a bunch of words popping up on a screen.
KNowing WHY those words are popping up as they are would be the interesting part but throwing the competition aspect in could be interesting.
Hey, bet on a monkey! 10 bucks to play, winner gets the pot.-- doctorremulac3, Jul 21 2021 Going the other way, I wonder how many 'bits' of information are needed to be data networked to create the monkey, that is Shakespeare.
The calculation probably involves the number of brain cells and their ability to store and transform the brains own way of information bits. A whole lot of little cellular protein typewriters.-- wjt, Jul 30 2021 Hey, that gives me an idea, wonder if you could use an idea like this to figure out how long it takes for life to evolve out of inert matter? Take the raw elements of primordial ooze and throw all the molecules of that stew into a simulation and create virtual life.
Somebody has to have thought of that right?-- doctorremulac3, Jul 30 2021 That's mixing stuff in a blender and sticking a litmus strip in it. This would be identifying the interactions of the various molecules and creating a program to simulate their interaction under various circumstances until a virtual monkey pops up and says "Hey doc, wanna see me ride a little bike wearing a bellhop hat?"
