It was also novel in its notion of a 'Universal Machine' (now known as a universal Turing machine), with the idea that such a machine could perform the tasks of any other computation machine, or in other words, it is provably capable of computing anything that is computable.
Turing's demonstrations of the power of these machines strongly supported his claim (now called the Church-Turing thesis) that anything that can be computed at all can be computed by a Turing machine.
The simplicity and elegance of cellular automata proves that anything that may be computed — and potentially anything that may exist in nature — can be generated from very simple building blocks and rules that interact locally with one another.
For denes you would be allowed to say anything that can be computed from the organism's DNA, and similarly for a bene being any computable function of reactive traces.
Membrane computing have been proved to be universal models of computation [ 34] and has been successfully used to model oscillatory systems [ 36], processes of signal transduction [ 37, 38], gene regulation control [ 39], quorum sensing [ 40], meta-populations [ 41] and ecosystems [ 42, 43] thus suggesting that anything that can be computed can be done so as a P-system.
Can you build a machine that computes anything you wish?
"One of the symptoms of Moore's Law dying is that companies like Intel are investing in quantum and other stuff — basically anything that's not traditional computing," Harris told me in an interview.
Most often these are in phones, but also in televisions, cars, printers – anything that needs reliable low-energy computing power, as almost everything built in the world now does.
The payload problem a camera, computing power, or anything that would make them useful in some way is still quite far off.
To a first approximation, the account says that anything that is accurately described by a computational description C is a computing system implementing C.
