We still use the purely theoretical #TuringMachine as a base measure of a computional system.

So often it takes a concentration of resources, enabling an inventor to try and fail, over and over again, often at great expense.

@ramin_hal9001 ooh. If you look at all possible computer programs only very simple ones can be written with branching (if else) and loops.

But all computer programs (no matter how hard or genius the algorithm is) can be written with branching and recursion. So I would just assume they’re doing something very smart by using a recursive algorithm 😆

It is capable of simulating computations using 7-bit instructions over a total of 224 bits (about 14 bytes), allowing it to theoretically run 2^224 different programs.

It is fully mechanical, constructed from over 2,900 LEGO pieces, runs without electricity and is powered by a hand crank.

The machine has a moving head that reads and writes symbols on a physical tape that supports four symbols and eight states, allowing for 32 possible symbol-state combinations.
