Sealion

Sealion is a theoretical computer science problem that models a scenario where a system must process unpredictable sequences of inputs (like a liar who can make up anything). It tests how well a system can recognize whether a sequence belongs to a specific language or set, despite the potential for deceptive or confusing information. The problem highlights challenges in designing algorithms that can accurately verify complex patterns or languages when faced with adversarial or uncertain inputs. Essentially, Sealion explores the limits of computational verification and the difficulty of distinguishing valid sequences from deceptive ones in formal systems.
