So like if you're running like the college conjecture where you can start at some number and go along the ways and eventually go into a cycle. Does it find that? Yeah, so that's, it seems like Jay's version is cleaner to me than the one where you compare to two values, but they're just kind of arbitrary. Well, they're arbitrary, but it's reasonable arbitrary.
