No, I am talking about - at a deeper level, all computing can be reduced to a Turing machine. (Unless you are reading Roger Penrose on consciousness).
Maybe I am mistaken, I am out of touch.
- juwo 19y agoto clarify: A Turing machine can simulate a deterministic finite automaton and a non-deterministic finite automaton. All systems are arguably either of these two. Perhaps that's why we can simulate weather, and lots of other things. Unless you look at human consciousness - Nobelist Roger Penrose has a theory that the mind is not a computer. That it has quantum states. (his book: The Emperor's New Mind - I didnt finish it - long and hard).
