This article describes a Turing machine which can solve for $\beta^{'}$ which is RE-complete. RE-complete problems are proven to be undecidable by Turing's accepted proof on the Entscheidungsproblem. Thus, constructing a machine which…

Finite Turing computation has a fundamental symmetry between inputs, outputs, programs, time, and storage space. Standard models of transfinite computational break this symmetry; we consider ways to recover it and study the resulting model…

In this paper, we propose a new concept called \textit{semantically equivalence} \wrt \textit{optimization phases} \textit{(\sep)}, which defines the set of programs a compiler considers semantically equivalent to the input using a set of…

Generic computability has been studied in group theory and we now study it in the context of classical computability theory. A set A of natural numbers is generically computable if there is a partial computable function f whose domain has…

We study when a programming language can emulate programs written in that same language without delegating the guest program back to the host evaluator or compiler. We call this property emulation-completeness. The central observation is…
