Existing models of computation, such as a Turing machine (hereafter, TM), do not consider the agent involved in interpreting the outcome of the computation. We argue that a TM, or any other computation model, has no significance if its…

Constant bit-size Transformers are known to be Turing complete, but existing constructions require $\Omega(s(n))$ chain-of-thought (CoT) steps per simulated Turing machine (TM) step, leading to impractical reasoning lengths. In this paper,…

We introduce a new type of test, called a Turing Experiment (TE), for evaluating to what extent a given language model, such as GPT models, can simulate different aspects of human behavior. A TE can also reveal consistent distortions in a…

A variant of Turing machines is introduced where the tape is replaced by a single tree which can be manipulated in a style akin to purely functional programming. This yields two benefits: first, the extra structure on the tape can be…

In the previous work, we have given a novel, game-semantic model of computation in an intrinsic, non-inductive and non-axiomatic manner, which is similar to Turing machines but beyond computation on natural numbers, e.g., higher-order…
