vy<p>I'm working on a paper which I need to distinguish recognizers (automata that have a binary output accept./reject) from Moore and Mealy machines. I started to write "recognizers have binary output and more general automata are non-binary", and then wondered if our KnowNothing Federal government would retaliate against the journal. <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dontobeyinadvance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dontobeyinadvance</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/automata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>automata</span></a></p>
