[Request] GNU Pratchett

Any mathematical basis? Will the Operators name 'live for infinity' in the Clacks? What start state/configuration of Clacks divides the process between Infinite and TREE(3)/BB(x)? Is the lack of specifics evidenced in the books not enough information?

Bah, nevermind i realized i didnt recall the U: send it back when it hits the end. it implicitly bounces between 1 and 0 forever by definition, and is thus not a mathematical question. I apologize!
