'Vibe formalizing' is a logical extension of 'vibe engineering' implemented by 'vibe coding'. Sometimes I have trouble with getting the individual puzzle pieces of a problem to fall into place, where a hypothetical 'Move 37 As A Service' to unify informal methods with mathematical rigor deserves to be explored!
I had put on the back burner some polyhedral compilation papers. I had read all the material, but some key questions still meant it was not possible for me to implement it. In particular, I was looking at barvinoks counting algorithm and did not understand why you needed to expand the polynomials in a pointed cone. However, chatgpt correctly led me through the reasoning. Could it have made a mistake? Of course. And it did. However, since my confusion meant that I was also wrong, bouncing the idea back and forth was really useful. Plus the ai bots are better at understanding your own particular points of confusion.
