TL;DR bet on which word is the most likely to be the next word in a valid haiku.

The Haiku so far:

Brings bayesian slowly

Singularity yes

Background here:

The next word will be chosen from the sorted list of words, with the highest weighted one first. For each word, we will either choose it as the next word with 50% probability, or skip it and evaluate the next word.

All markets will resolve when either 1) a valid haiku has been created or 2) the process has failed to produce a valid haiku, in which case the “failure” options in each market that has one will pay out.

Unique modifications to this market:

This market will resolve N/A if the haiku fails.

I have enabled the new feature to add new answers after the market is created. Please suggest words that you would like added, using the comments.

I will not trade in these markets, with the single exception that I may buy 'Haiku fails' shares to disincentivize gaming towards that outcome.

Since these are experimental, I may modify the mechanism to avoid unintended consequences/gaming, preserving as much as possible the original intent and mechanism.

Before closing, I will post the hash of the script that will make the final word decision, deterministically randomized based on the final state of the market. This is to prove that I have no discretion or control over the outcome. I'll post the script(s) once all the markets using them are resolved.

The next word is: bayesian

Sadly, I can't see a way for this to be a valid haiku. Bayesian can be pronounced with 2 syllables, but there isn't any other adjustment to be made that can bring it down to 7 syllables in the second line. Another possibility is to increase the syllables in "singularity yes" to 7, but the syllable count is pretty inflexible on those two words.

Unless anyone has other ideas, I think the haiku has failed.

I would like to suggest the following words:

  • pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

  • Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

  • Antidisestablishmentarianism

  • Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism

  • Floccinaucinihilipilification

  • Psychoneuroendocrinology

  • Entscheidungsproblem

  • Super-Kamiokande

  • Defenestration

bought Ṁ5 of Other YES

not sure how you can disincentivize people who have large positions on "Haiku fails" from not sabotaging these markets at this point

@nickten Only way is to buy tons of haiku fails, I don’t have enough mana :(
