gollark: The AI one is most tractable, but I don't have... any hardware budget, really, and the privacy implications are problematic.
gollark: Random-walk through universe-space, going decreasing distances each step if near a consistent solution.
gollark: - AI models of all users- enumerating all possible universes given different "past reminders" until one which is self-consistent is found- that, but it uses some sort of iterative approximation instead
gollark: Oh, or would only work in a few weirdly specific cases.
gollark: All the ideas I could come up for past reminders were either impractically computationally intensive, wouldn't actually work, or would only work with ridiculously cooperative users.
