"textContent": "`AllowAmbiguousTypes` will just push the logical problem elsewhere. A required type argument won’t help because `x` is highly dynamic.\n\nThere seems to be two possible approaches here:\n\n 1. Somehow get the compiler to understand the relationship between `m`, `n` and `x` in the way that it can work here. This is my preferece, but I’m open to the fact that it might not be possible.\n\n 2. Thread through a singleton for `x`. This is complicated by the fact that it is not trivial to know what `x` is at any given point. I think I will try implementing an algorithm that passes `x` in the dumb-list version of my machine.\n\n\n",
