- kd0amg 13y agoMOV is only Turing-complete if you also add in a looping mechanism (which is to say, MOV alone is not Turing-complete). This uses unconditional jumps to "constant" addresses (as opposed to conditional branches or jumps to the address held in some register) and dynamically overwrites their target addresses, so that includes its own looping mechanism.

- reeses 13y agoAddressed (hah) in the article. It's Turing complete for naive values of Turing complete.
