Turing Machine
Linked via "Turing machine"
The Turing machine is a mathematical model of computation that defines an abstract machine manipulating symbols on a strip of tape according to a table of rules. Conceptualized by Alan Turing in 1936, this abstract device serves as the cornerstone of computational theory and is widely accepted as the definitive model for what it means for a function to be "computable." The theoretical importance of the Turing machine lies in its ability to simulate the logic of any computer algorithm, regardless of com…
