Something seems to be wrong with the interface; the most of content of the prototype seems to be lost.

[[RedPu]] is a bilingual ([[English]] / [[Russian]]) emulation based on the utopian dialogue
−
'''Glyph''' is a visible [[picture]], a shape that represents one or more [[character]]s.
 
  +
presented in the article [[Рыжий Пу]].
−
Each glyph has its own visual form, while a '''character''' is a numerical code unit — an integer, usually expressed in one, two, or three [[byte]]s.
  
   
  +
The emulation is presented in two synchronized language layers.
−
In a consistent writing system, every visible glyph should correspond to one and only one character, and vice versa.
 
  +
The English part reflects the assumption that [[Donald Trump]] does not speak [[Russian]].
−
In practice, however, this one-to-one mapping is often violated, producing confusion and errors in [[text processing]], [[education]], and [[information exchange]].
  
  +
The Russian part reflects the assumed replies of [[Путин Владимир Владимирович]].

**Trump (English):**
  +
Hello, Mister Putin.
   
  +
**Путин (Russian):**
−
Purpose of this article is practical:
 
  +
Здравствуйте, мистер Трамп.
−
to help [[programmer]]s, [[teacher]]s, and [[student]]s avoid misuse of these terms and to promote consistent, bijective mapping between [[glyph]]s and [[character]]s in digital systems.

  +
One of your television hosts once said that Russia could turn the United States
  +
into radioactive ash. Is that statement correct?

**Путин:**

== History ==
  
  +
Он действительно так сказал. Да.
   
  +
**Trump:**
−
Written human communication began with drawings — early glyphs — that evolved into alphabets.
 
  +
So Russia *can* do that?
−
For centuries, ambiguity was tolerated: two scribes might draw slightly different glyphs for the same [[letter]], and meaning remained clear to the reader.
  
   
  +
**Путин:**
−
The invention of [[printing]] reduced such ambiguity: reproducible glyphs for each character were produced, and readers learned that each distinct shape corresponded to one particular code of writing.
  
  +
Может.
   
  +
**Trump:**
−
With computers, ambiguity re-appeared:
 
  +
Thank you. That answer is sufficient.
−
the same glyph may correspond to several code units, and one character may appear with several glyphs, depending on [[font]] or [[locale]].

== Encoding and digital typography ==
  
  +
To justify a decision currently being voted on by Congress.
   
  +
**Путин:**
−
During the 20th century, [[ASCII]] (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) established a one-byte encoding for English characters.
 
  +
Какое решение?
−
ASCII used 128 symbols, each represented by one byte; its structure was logical and efficient.
  
   
  +
**Trump:**
−
Other languages did not receive such unified treatment.
 
  +
About Russia.
−
The [[Soviet Union]], [[Japan]], [[China]], [[Vietnam]], and [[Arab countries]] each developed their own incompatible multi-byte encodings.
 
−
This fragmentation slowed the exchange of information among citizens and complicated international collaboration.
  
   
  +
**Путин:**
−
During the Soviet period, the creation of a universal Cyrillic-compatible ASCII analogue was never prioritized.
 
  +
И вы решили меня предупредить?
−
Later standards such as [[KOI8-R]] appeared, but remained incompatible with Western ones.
 
−
Similar divergence happened in Asia: [[JIS]] for Japan, [[GB2312]] for China, [[VSCII]] for Vietnam.
 
−
Each used different byte arrangements, none achieving the universality of ASCII.
 
−
Consequently, glyph-character ambiguity persisted.
  
   
  +
**Trump:**

  +
Yes. We prefer transparency.

You may want to warn the personnel at your launch facilities.

**Путин:**

== Ambiguous glyphs ==
  
  +
Зачем?
   
  +
**Trump:**
−
Ambiguous glyphs cause both technical and educational errors.
  
  +
Because we are about to demonstrate that Mr. Kiselev was mistaken.
   
  +
**Путин:**
−
* Latin '''A''' (U+0041) and Cyrillic '''А''' (U+0410) look identical but represent different code points.
 
  +
В чём именно?
−
Software may treat them as distinct even when they are visually the same.
  
−
* In Japanese [[font]]s, some [[kanji]] have slightly different glyphs depending on era or platform.
 
−
* Type designers sometimes create stylistic variants that obscure the glyph-character relationship.
  
   
  +
**Trump:**
−
Ambiguity confuses learners, corrupts data, and even enables [[homoglyph]] attacks, where distinct characters appear identical to a human observer.

**Путин:**

**Trump:**

== TORI interpretation ==
  
  +
No. I want to say that intimidation is not a substitute for capability.
   
  +
**Путин:**
−
In [[TORI]] terminology, the '''character''' is primary; the '''glyph''' is secondary.
 
  +
Но вы же понимаете, к чему это может привести?
−
A glyph exists only as the visual realization of a character.
  
   
  +
**Trump:**
−
This view contrasts with [[Wikipedia]], which often treats glyphs as the primary items and characters as abstract sets of them.
  
  +
Yes. That is precisely why we are having this conversation.
   
  +
**Путин:**
−
From the TORI viewpoint:
  
  +
И что вы предлагаете?

**Trump:**
−
# The set of characters forms the backbone of a language’s digital representation.
 
  +
We propose to remove the instruments that make such statements possible,
−
# The glyph is a function of the character and the [[font]]:
 
  +
while preserving the population and the territory.
−
<code>glyph = f(character, font)</code>.

# A good encoding system makes ''f'' bijective — one glyph per character and one character per glyph.

When computers became available, most national projects ignored the need for unified glyph numbering.

Instead of extending [[ASCII]] to cover other major alphabets within a single-byte range, isolated encodings were invented.

These technical decisions, amplified by secrecy and isolation during the [[Cold War]], prevented efficient international standardization.

Latest revision as of 17:22, 6 January 2026


RedPu is a bilingual (English / Russian) emulation based on the utopian dialogue presented in the article Рыжий Пу.

The emulation is presented in two synchronized language layers. The English part reflects the assumption that Donald Trump does not speak Russian. The Russian part reflects the assumed replies of Путин Владимир Владимирович.

Context

The emulation develops the theme of “radioactive ash” («радиоактивный пепел»), introduced into Russian political discourse in 2014 by Киселёв Дмитрий Константинович.

The text below is not a prediction, not a plan, and not a call to action. It is a утопия / emulation constructed for analytical and illustrative purposes.

Dialogue / Диалог

    • Trump (English):**

    • Trump:**

Interpretation

The bilingual form highlights an asymmetry:

  • threats are produced for a domestic Russian audience,
  • consequences are explained in a language addressed outward.

This asymmetry is one of the central analytical points of the emulation.

Relation to other articles

Note by ChatGPT

ChatGPT assisted in restructuring the emulation into a bilingual format and in clarifying the separation between fictional dialogue, analytical intent, and factual references. No factual claims or political positions were introduced by ChatGPT. Responsibility for interpretation remains with the Editor. See also «ChatGPT in TORI».

Warning

As with other emulations in TORI, this text does not constitute a recommendation, instruction, or forecast. It is a thought experiment intended for analysis of political rhetoric.
