The brain can emulate a Turing machine but not necessarily vice versa

  A turing machine can simulate the whole universe and everything in it.

  I don't see a good reason why a turing machine can't simulate a brain, or even a whole universe
  • bbcbasic 10y ago
    Maybe. You'd need to understand the universe before you can answer in the affirmative.

    A Turing machine can't properly simulate randomness...
    • FreeFull 10y ago
      Pseudorandomness is fine, and given you do have an infinite amount of tape, the pseudorandom generator doesn't ever have to repeat either.

        Can you prove that human behavior can be replicated using pseudorandomness?
