a Halting procedure. A Universal Turing Machine is a relatively small program. Roger Penrose gives a three-page example in The Emperors New Mind, and Stephen Wolfram has implemented one using a cellular automaton with as few as five component parts. A Halting Program running on such a machine should be able to co

at King’s College, Cambridge and was made a Fellow at only 22. In 1936 Turing, aged 24, published On Computable Numbers and their Application to the Entscheidungsproblem, not a snappy title, but one of the most influential mathematical works of the 20" century. The paper described the new the science of computing and
