The four Suits = {?,?,??,?}

The Heart, ?, should be red.
But it isn't.
Deal with it.

It makes no difference to the game of Poker.
Here's the proof:

The set of 52 possible playing cards =

{

{2?, 3?, 4?, 5?, 6?, 7?, 8?, 9?, 10?, J?, Q?, K?, A?},

{2?, 3?, 4?, 5?, 6?, 7?, 8?, 9?, 10?, J?, Q?, K?, A?},

{2??, 3??, 4??, 5??, 6??, 7??, 8??, 9??, 10??, J??, Q??, K??, A??},

{2?, 3?, 4?, 5?, 6?, 7?, 8?, 9?, 10?, J?, Q?, K?, A?}

}

Here's the subset of Aces = {A?, A?, A??,A?}
And here's the subset of Kings = {K?, K?, K??,K?}
So, there are at least two subsets.
Etc.

In the Game of Poker,
black and red
make no difference to the rules
in any way, shape, or form.

Reply to Arcane Sandwich your conclusion is correct, but it doesn't seem like you did anything to prove it.

That's true. Interestingly, though, in French the four "suits" can be called "enseignes" but are more commonly called "couleurs". Hence, in the context of French-suited playing cards, the term "couleur" doesn't translate "color" (as it normally does outside of this context) but rather translates "suit".

Well, then I would say that such are the impressions that the uneducated mind is typically under.

Are you familiar with the Spanish Set?

Reply to Arcane Sandwich that's unecessary. Why so sensitive about it? Nothing in there is a proof.

And this is why it would be more accurate to translate the French term "couleur", in this context, as "shape". Each suit is identical to a shape, in this context. Which is why you have four "couleurs" instead of just two.

And the four couleurs, in the context in question, are: Spade, Heart, Diamond, and Clover.

Why do you think that they can be called "enseignes"? Because "enseignes" (insignias, in Spanish) sounds more "Merovingian", so to speak?

I can't answer that. I don't know the history of playing cards in any details.

Not much either! I only know a bit about current usage owing to being a native speaker. For more arcane questions about philology, I mostly rely on Wikipedia or ChatGPT.

Reply to Pierre-Normand Pierre, mon ami, please don't trust ChatGPT. Don't feed it.

Anyways, it doesn't matter. You know why? I'll tell you why. Because it's technically possible to turn ChatGPT into Roko's Basilisk.

I don't expect you to believe me. That's why I'm actually building it. Technically speaking, I am advocating for its creation, am I not?

The Matrix will be risible in comparison to the A.I. that I'm building : )

Trust but verify is my motto. And I'll let Roko worry about his Basilisk :wink:
