Jun 29, 2012 at 7:44 comment added Jing Zhang Thank you @Francois. What you suggested totally makes sense. I think I just got confused at when to think of splitting. I referred to the previous discussion in the book, the situation is only considered when the function under current string(oracle) is undefined. Thank you for enlightening me!

Jun 28, 2012 at 19:33 comment added François G. Dorais I think this is just a matter of convention - the only reason why $\phi^\tau_e(n)$ would change later on would be if the algorithm read beyond $\tau$ and made a decision contingent on the absence of a value there. Since this is somewhat silly, it is safe to assume that the algorithm diverges as soon as it attempts to read beyond $\tau$. This way, the output of the algorithm will agree on any longer oracle.
