repeated over and over again until somecondition is fulWlled, but in doing so to obey, not fresh instructions oneach repetition, but the same ones over and over again
It sounds like these 'tables of instructions' are just sets of algorithms. Also using 'if this, do that' in the sentence above. A lot of similarities to computer code today
whether there are imaginable computers which would dowell
important to understand that this machine, like the universal machine in 'computable numbers', is a machine that is theoretically possible and he isn't necessarily trying to build/locate one
These questions replace our original, ‘Can machines think?’
The 'imitation game' helps give a clear outline to what Turing is trying to investigate. The question "Can machines think?" is very broad and could go many ways, but using the 'imitation game' helps focus the argument.
fairly sharp line between thephysical and the intellectual capacities of a man
one of the ways the 'can machines think?' question is more specific while using the 'imitation game'
