Thanks for putting this together @dana-edwards. While I'm still cracking my head over the self-interpreting concept on a dynamic, changing language, I understand that TML is made to be agnostic (if that's the right word for it) and usable regardless of whatever timeline we find ourselves in. I've been writing some draft about the abstract idea - would it be right to say that the protocol is made to be both ephemeral and eternal? Big words, but that's the gist that I'm grokking from the project.

I put together this for even more info for those who want a bit of direction on research: https://steemit.com/tauchain/@dana-edwards/for-all-who-are-researching-tauchain-tml-to-understand-how-it-works-a-nice-video
An interpreter is what tells a program how to run.
Yup I get that having worked with them before, just dont fully comprehend it under TML's context..
It has to do with Futamura projection and the self defining language component of TML. If I think of Futamura projection as transforming an interpreter into a compiler, and then we see TML has that capability of partial evaluation with Futamura projection, then it would seem it allows TML to compile itself in a way, and that is I think what self interpretation does for Tau.
But I think Ohad might be best to explain it. I try to but there are so many details and concepts involved. If I cannot explain it precisely then it probably means I don't have a good enough understanding of it.
Ah, you got that right. Think I've seen this before, but it's much clearer now reading it again: http://blog.sigfpe.com/2009/05/three-projections-of-doctor-futamura.html
To add, the benefits of processing Futamura's third projection is two-fold: high-level language expressiveness and low-level language speed. So that's the compiler-compiler(?). Kinda amazing this hasn't been applied in any blockchains afaik, although most haven't gone through this level of sophistication. These information are just out there in the open..
Hey @kevinwong and @dana-edwards! I've been following your posts regarding this coin and I'm having trouble understading if AGRS is the same as TML. If I buy this coin, will it be the coin you are both discussing? https://wallet.bitshares.org/#/market/OPEN.AGRS_BTS
Sadly, I've already missed that $0.9 price but am interested in picking some up if you can please confirm.
Yes, it is. AGRS is going to be built using TML.
I'm not sure if open.agrs is the real deal on bts?
Openledger has a bridge that allows you to deposit/withdraw from other sources. There isn't enough volume on BTS DEX for me to buy at "market" price so I'm buying on Bittrex and sending to DEX before the 9th. Thanks to both of you!
