so my original claim was that: > i can extrapolate even further and say that everything is a state machine. humans are a state machine, plants are a state machine, reality itself is a state machine. we don’t see it like this because of the sheer complexity, but in the end we are a continuous computation that occurs at every moment in time. Godel incompleteness applies for math, logic, etc but you need to understand that math is human construct. formulas and numbers don't exist in a void. they need a substrate like a human mind or a computer. Also by state machine i mean a system is basically a current state + state transitions. I was not using state machine as a way of modeling and solving a problem. That's a narrow definition of a state machine only applicable within a certain domain. so everything in reality can be seen as a state machine also as an orthogonal side note to the the halting problem: in theory you may conceive of systems and/or programs that will never halt but remember they are theoretical. Eventually, entropy gets to us all so for anything, even ideas of algorithms that may never halt, is temporary and are guaranteed that given enough time they will halt.
