Subject: Re: Cons Cell Representation---`sameness' again From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 1999/04/07 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3132456355962317@naggum.no> * Vassil Nikolov <vnikolov@poboxes.com> | Also note that from the point of view of a `microscope-enabled' observer | who has access to the bit strings stored in the cons cells there are many | many more than 3 representations because cons cells at different machine | addresses would be distinguishable. in what way is EQ not microscope-enabled, and how could you get more than three different representations of a _single_ list like this, unless you compare a cons cell from one list's representation and a cons cell from _another_ list's representation, but that seems a rather silly argument and not dependent on "bit strings" at all. what did I miss? #:Erik
