So the band and state register is memory? And the instruction table is computation?

- gpm 7y agoThe instruction table is a function. Computation is the act of applying that function to the state. Edit: Grammatically "computation" is "The act of computing" where computing is a verb. "Memory" is a noun, and not one about an act. It's more like saying "clothing".
- mikorym 7y agoThis kind of touches on my original point. A function can be seen both as the set of all pairs of the function, or as an oracle that you feed input to and receive output. The first is to me the full memory space, the second is maybe computation.
