in one of the game's field notes, i think frank tells us how basically everything he learned in grad school turned out to be surprisingly useless in actually solving the puzzles at the temple. so, i think this would be the exact kind of analysis that would exist in universe
Loved the video. And as someone that beated all the levels in the game (even if it took me a while) can confirm that you don't need any of this info to solve them. P.S. I know they are officially called buckets, but for me they will always be the "paper bag monster"
Exceptional qualiy. Your explanations and charm are so cohesive and understandable. I also think the buckets are a simple yet diverse mechanic; I've seen your game before too yet I didn't expect this. Anyways so sigma
Saw this video in "subscriptions" and didn't recognize the channel. So checked it out, saw the thumbnail for the obra din video and exclaimed "Oh, I remember. Its the Minecraft Hole Theory guy!"
10:20 - I usually for this pick a color and a direction to call positive. Then remembering the -1 and 1 multiplication rule it gets easy to check the polarity even with a frozen screen, for example; dark-right = + so: dark = + light = - right = + left = - and you multiply both simbols to get the corrrect parity.
omg i love this video so much i dont have words i just love everything about this video im also now definitely gonna get beans and nothingness at some point
There should be more videos like this on youtube, they seem like a rarity to me, but they're really good. And I think it is pretty useful, maybe not for playing puzzle games, but for making them, as a demonstration for how to dig deeply into a seemingly very simple system that doesn't have obvious interactions you could use for puzzles.
I would honestly love to see this become a whole branch of mathematics. i would love to give it the name "polarity grid theory' but that would rub up against polar coordinate stuff, and i think it would be fun to generalize it to where there are more than 2 states a single actor(in this specific case, our only actors are buckets) can be in, making poles kind of outnumbered, and i think parity would make a good replacement, making "parital grid theory", which i think sounds like a nice name for this branch of math
I believe in mathematics a more appropriate name to what he calls polarity would be parity. You can generalize this to more than 2 using modulo arithmetics.
8:58 i think it's called parity. I remember bishops being described having the same or different parity ( =being on the same or different color) and it's kinda similar to the odd-even concept
I was captivated for about 7-8 minutes until even CHECKING the runtime lmao. This is amazing. Will hopefully come back to this I love your explorations about light/dark squares! I think it's amazing this game has captured your wonder so thoroughly
Honestly, I saw this video show up multiple times on my page, and the thumbnail and title made me think it was a hate video. I was wrong! This is something made of love!!! great video
Beautiful video! I was expecting "Is this tile-based puzzle game Turing-complete" (the answer is usually yes :p), but I got so much more. The proof for simplifying chains + transparency and the proof using the DVD logo were both especially elegant, and the cycle words are such a powerful tool. I really enjoyed this!
so the important question is can it run doom jokes aside, i clicked on this video as a silly joke, oh what could the one and a half hour long video about buckets be about? and im just gonna say i was not expecting it to be so damn intriguing and take the breath out of me. so basically i enjoyed it a lot. thank you for the quality videos as always, this is actually so insane.
this is great and awesome i think i wonder if it may be useful to draw 1d bucket configurations as a 2d image, one axis being time, and diagonal lines going across it
could it be possible for a 3d bucket cube to have triphasing? ex. if the three edges coming from a vertex have knock patterns 101000 / 001010 / 100010 or in general, can n-dimensional bucket hypercubes have n-phasing
still thinking about this video and those buckets. you present and explain things in such an exciting way. thank you for reminding me that math is actually pretty fun sometimes. the final clip with the bucket system falling apart and into the water is such a cute way to end given the theme of the outro.
I just finished the video, I got pretty lost on the 3-d diagrams, and I'm still not fully sure how other mathematicians have written all these formulas that apply to these buckets, what were the formulas describing if they weren't for buckets.
Bro it's just an enemy from a puzzle game, it's not that deep 🙏😭 Jk tho, i loved the analysis, it got pretty in-depth from such a wacky puzzle game such as beans
28:35 - what? you said interlacing bucket squares. you're using 3 buckets square tha goes through eachother as you expained interlacing is. I saw nothing weird there, xD
commenting because i think you'd be happy to know i saw this & watched all of it
Every time I find some wicked niche shit and I open the comments it's you or Kenny Lauderdale. Like an Easter egg hunt
Omg it furry marble nerd :0 fav youtuber spotted!!1!11!!
Honestly, I clicked on this video with a thought “does it have Patricia Taxxon’s comment?”
Hahaha I was thinking about sending you this on tumblr. Had never heard of this game before your video!
Hey I know that person
in one of the game's field notes, i think frank tells us how basically everything he learned in grad school turned out to be surprisingly useless in actually solving the puzzles at the temple. so, i think this would be the exact kind of analysis that would exist in universe
Heya, thank you for mentioning me and liking my puzzles!
you've got the true mathematicians instinct: you called something which is just a type of chain an antichain
Loved the video. And as someone that beated all the levels in the game (even if it took me a while) can confirm that you don't need any of this info to solve them.
P.S. I know they are officially called buckets, but for me they will always be the "paper bag monster"
I am now imagining someone wearing one over their head while its tiny legs are wiggling in the air

That’s what I did but instead said, “it’s the peggle secret guy!”
10:20 - I usually for this pick a color and a direction to call positive. Then remembering the -1 and 1 multiplication rule it gets easy to check the polarity even with a frozen screen, for example;
dark-right = +
so:
dark = +
light = -
right = +
left = -
and you multiply both simbols to get the corrrect parity.
omg i love this video so much i dont have words i just love everything about this video
im also now definitely gonna get beans and nothingness at some point
oh? an hour and a half long video from my favorite minecraft topologist turned explainer of other things. time to burn some hours!
27:44 thank you for featuring my puzzle!! 😁😁
balls

Stellar. Long time bean fan (and math nerd) here. This is what mathematics is all about. This is easily an Ars Leguminum paper :)
57:18 cowering in fear as god rends me from my plane and forces me to grapple with the unbearable reality of everything i had once knew
"What is a bucket?" truly one of the most philosophically relevant questions ever asked.
I would honestly love to see this become a whole branch of mathematics. i would love to give it the name "polarity grid theory' but that would rub up against polar coordinate stuff, and i think it would be fun to generalize it to where there are more than 2 states a single actor(in this specific case, our only actors are buckets) can be in, making poles kind of outnumbered, and i think parity would make a good replacement, making "parital grid theory", which i think sounds like a nice name for this branch of math
I believe in mathematics a more appropriate name to what he calls polarity would be parity. You can generalize this to more than 2 using modulo arithmetics.
it'd probably be sorted as a kind of problem in the field of Combinatorics (aka the mathematics olympiad's garbage can)
havent fully finished the video yet so i probably shouldnt answer too soon, but it definitely feels like combinatorics/group theory
They're called cellular automata.
collision theory
8:58 i think it's called parity. I remember bishops being described having the same or different parity ( =being on the same or different color) and it's kinda similar to the odd-even concept

Conway's Game of Buckets...
Honestly, I saw this video show up multiple times on my page, and the thumbnail and title made me think it was a hate video. I was wrong! This is something made of love!!! great video
Truly delightful. Was sad to see it was over
this is one of my new favorite videos; ive watched it several times already.
4:55 - pretty sure the blocking mechanics makes them turing complete...
i love this so much, a wonderful story and explanation and just overall a pleasant experience
Beautiful video! I was expecting "Is this tile-based puzzle game Turing-complete" (the answer is usually yes :p), but I got so much more. The proof for simplifying chains + transparency and the proof using the DVD logo were both especially elegant, and the cycle words are such a powerful tool. I really enjoyed this!
This is literally the best sort of video. I really look forward to watching this tomorrow
The smoothiest hour of my life, pretty great video, im buying this game right now
Dear God...
There's more.
@argetistalrí nooo
It contains a bucket.
Do you like teleporting bread?
@@Chris01114 I've done nothing but teleport bread for 3 days
Ykw, didn't expect to be watching a bucket explanation at 3am but it's certainly some interesting content
I'd love to be able to listen to the soundtrack for this video!
This is amazing. Fitted in so much with such simple rules
The stanley parable ultra deluxe has taught me buckets are a necessity to living
This is exactly the kinda video I'm here for
oh! the bean game! i still want to play that
parity is the word u want
you've got a talent for explaining things :)
The perfect video to wait for stalker 2 with
"It's my hyper fixation and I get to choose it"
Believe it or not, this happened to my buddy Eric
so the important question is can it run doom
jokes aside, i clicked on this video as a silly joke, oh what could the one and a half hour long video about buckets be about? and im just gonna say i was not expecting it to be so damn intriguing and take the breath out of me. so basically i enjoyed it a lot. thank you for the quality videos as always, this is actually so insane.
BUCK IS MO
ET VE
Conways game of life finally has a sequel : The Game of Bucket
Awesome stuff really enjoyed this, watched all of it while working LOL
Now THIS is why I subscribed!!!!
Wow thank you so much, I've been searching for the right term for these binary necklaces for years!!
this is great and awesome i think
i wonder if it may be useful to draw 1d bucket configurations as a 2d image, one axis being time, and diagonal lines going across it

yes yes yes 1 hour thirty minutes of buckets likely to be abstracted in a way i would have never even begun to come up with
still thinking about this video and those buckets. you present and explain things in such an exciting way. thank you for reminding me that math is actually pretty fun sometimes. the final clip with the bucket system falling apart and into the water is such a cute way to end given the theme of the outro.
just started the vid but this reminded me that i should play bean and nothingness
i saw a random video and i thought, "is that bean and nothingness...?" "certainly not right"
Bro you gotta be an actual psychopath. An hour long video on a niche game mechanic in a niche game? Idk whether to be impressed or scared
I now know this exists. Thanks.
Awesome video! You should have use magnets instead of batteries to represent the polarity 🧲
You should take a algebra course in groups.
Why do I need to comment, you respond to all of my questions before i can even write a comment
buckets are just a complex dead end
yeah I hate Buckets too - *peeps the runtime* Yowza!!
the first URL in the description has a typo.
this reminds me of the bunnies in veggie quest
I want to see only videos like this ⭐👃🏿⭐
Bucket chains should be bucket springs
Clearly you've never played The Stanley Parable.
Casual BaN enjoyer
I love this so much, holy shit.
im 40 minutes in and it sounds sort of like you're describing a unit circle
oh my god are the buckets just sine waves
I just finished the video, I got pretty lost on the 3-d diagrams, and I'm still not fully sure how other mathematicians have written all these formulas that apply to these buckets, what were the formulas describing if they weren't for buckets.
Bro it's just an enemy from a puzzle game, it's not that deep 🙏😭
Jk tho, i loved the analysis, it got pretty in-depth from such a wacky puzzle game such as beans
28:35 - what? you said interlacing bucket squares.
you're using 3 buckets square tha goes through eachother as you expained interlacing is.
I saw nothing weird there, xD
You sound like sumplysarc
Bucket
