This is a technique (told to me by Talia) that you can use to conditionally implement the continue operator in Hex Casting — that is, skip to the end of one Thoth iteration but continue with subsequent iterations. This is done by conditionally executing an unbalanced Introspection iota. It uses no meta-evaluation levels.

Conditional Continue
bool →
Must be used directly within a Thoth loop (it seems to just act like Charon's Gambit if used within a Hermes). Swap the Introspection and Bookkeeper's Gambit: - if you want to continue on false instead of true.

Code: Select all

#define Conditional Continue (SOUTH_WEST aqdeedd) = bool ->
{
    {
        Introspection
        Bookkeeper's Gambit: -
        Retrospection
    }
    Flock's Disintegration
    Bookkeeper's Gambit: v
    Augur's Exaltation
    Hermes' Gambit
}
