Well, you’re wrong. The problem statement is completely clear and can be implemented with something like cellular automata
I understand the environment specified in the problem statement, but not the decision problem.
If your formalism says such problems are not well-defined, whoops, too bad for the formalism!
Well, maybe, but the statement that everything is totally clear doesn’t help me understand better. I can intuitively guess what is intended, but that’s different from actually seeing all the pieces of the puzzle.
Edit: Well, I guess I should indicate situations where I “don’t understand” in the sense of not understanding to my satisfaction, as opposed to pretending to not understand what doesn’t fit my models or because the questions is expected to be confusing to most readers. Sometimes I’m confused not because of an apparent property of a question, but because I’m trying to solve some obscure aspect of it that isn’t on everyone’s mind.
