Turing’s Cathedral by George Dyson follows Hungarian mathematician John von Neumann’s efforts to build a computer based on Turing’s design and boasting a revolutionary feature: RAM.

Alan Turing theorized a machine that could do infinite calculations from an infinite amount of data that computes based on a set of rules. It starts with an input, transforms the data and outputs a… ...

If you really know your Magic the Gather and you’re a programming wiz you’ll appreciate this paper on building a functioning Turing Machine from Magic the Gathering cards. We’re sure you ...

Turing machines are something I'd heard of before, but had no idea what they actually were. Your explination was a little confusing to me, but I found a somewhat simpler explination here, along ...

Today, Google celebrates what would have been Alan Turing’s 100th birthday with an interactive HTML5 logo that simulates the Turing Machine. Turing, persecuted because he was gay, was a wartime ...

Still, Imai says he was inspired to try and make a universal Turing machine because he wanted to probe the limits of complexity in a Penrose universe.
