And THAT behavior is of the simulator. Static Strings for Behavior Questions need to represent something that HAS Behavior, which is a program, and the behavior in question will be when that program is run. Your definition doesn't work, as the "Behavior of the Input" isn't a function of just the input, but also of the decider. It is exactly like asking "What is the sum of two plus?" > >> The emulation only REVEALS the behavior to the decider, not create it. >> >
