Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death.]

< Consul>
Okay, is the phrase "binary connection tree" familiar to anyone here?
03:22
< Consul>
I tried googling it, and got bunches of extraneous results, nothing helpful.
03:23
<@McMartin>
I'm more familiar with the terms "Binary Search Tree" and "Binary Decision Diagram"
03:24
< Consul>
Yeah, the only instances I can find of the term is in DSP, in relation to certain physical modeling algorithms.
03:24
< Consul>
But no explanation is given in these papers I try to read on those subjects.
03:24
< Consul>
It sounded nice and computer science-y, so I thought I'd try asking here. :-)
03:28
<@McMartin>
BST is a way of doing fast searching and sorting; BDDs are for compactly representing huge sets.
03:29
< Consul>
I'm getting the feeling, based on context, that's they're using it as a fancy term for "directed graph."
03:29
< Consul>
Or maybe a specialized type of digraph.
03:30
< Consul>
Any chance I could get voice, please?

http://rafb.net/p/HrKuO370.html -- That's the passage that has the most clues to what they're talking about (thank for the ops).
03:35
<@Consul>
The word with the weird character in it (this is copied out of a pdf) is "predefined".
03:45
<@McMartin>
I do believe that that is a clumsy attempt at a definition of BCT.

http://lib.tkk.fi/Diss/2008/isbn9789512292431/article4.pdf -- The full paper, though it's up to you if you want to look at it.

<@Consul>
It's not important, really.
