what about being genderfluid? does the winner changes from time to time? does it counts as bigender? what if the fluidity includes non boy/girl genders?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In this case you're just fucked lol.

If the kid has a relatively clear "average" gender, (e.g. spends 50% of the time as simply female, 25% of the time simply xenogender, 25% simply demimale) and this average doesn't change over time, you could compute the average gender and then use the aforementioned algorithm to solve. BUT if the kid tends to move genders over years or even decades you're never gonna have a clear winner.

If the kid comes out as genderfluid your best bet is to just call it a draw and both players get their money back

Okay but do you at least agree you have to use multivectors? 1D vector gender is clearly insufficient

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How would you even represent a gender as a 1D quantity? Even ignoring xenogender axes you need at least 2 dimensions

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was conflating dimension and degree.

Vectors are a degree one quantity in 2+ dimensions. Bivectors are a degree two quantity in 3+ dimensions.

Huh, I'm not familiar with that terminology. In my sphere of familiarity, "vector" mostly just means "list of numbers augmented with a dot product and matrix multiplication". And the dimensionality of the space is just the number of values in the list, like (0,0,0,0) is a 4d vector.

My mental model of gender is basically a collection of points in an extremely high dimensional space, and we're just saying "find the average man, find the average woman, and use these two vectors as basis vectors for a low dimensional space which we project the entire space into for that purpose of resolving the bet"
