| Turing-Machine: is a model by A.M. Turing (A.M. Turing, “On Computable Numbers, with an application to the decision-making problem”, Proceedings, London Mathematical Society, 230-265 (1936)), which reproduces the process of character manipulation according to simple rules and thus makes it possible to investigate. A Turing machine can, in principle, calculate everything which is calculable.

John R. Searle on Turing-Machine - Dictionary of Arguments
I 232 A Turing machine is a machine that is defined by effects that cannot be re-created from cheese. Computer: a computer is syntactically defined and can be reconstructed from anything (cats, mice, cheese). Syntax is always observer-relative and not intrinsical. But a heart is an intrinsical pump. >Syntax, >Intrinsicness. Even water can be described as intelligent (because it finds the way of lowest resistance). I 231 Turing's original definition: a Turing machine can perform certain elementary operations._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
