M9914: An Uncomputable Computable Tree in Splash 2015 (Nov. 21 - 22, 2015)
In formal maths-language, I might say: this class will show the existence of an infinite computable subtree of the infinite binary tree possessing no infinite computable path. In normal talk, what that means is this. A computer has a program loaded in its memory; the program allows it to compute a giant, branching tree. Specifically, the program specifies how many children each node has: 0, 1, or 2. The tree continues to arbitrary depth; however, no matter how you program the computer, it will not be able to find a path through this tree that doesn't eventually run into a dead end. How is this possible? We will see!
