"Conditionals, loops, and memory" is an interesting list of requirements, because "memory" can be abstracted into anything. Functional Languages rely on the fact that the same code shall always produce the same outcome, and thus the "tape" has been changed into a series of concrete blocks. That said, I don't think anyone would argue that functional languages are not TC, but it is interesting to consider that the Tape becomes code in Lisp...
