# Universality and the Limits of Computation
* pg 134,135 - generalized turing principle (make sure you can walk through DD's reasoning)
[Summary of 'Computing Machinery And Intelligence' (1950) by Alan Turing](https://www.jackhoy.com/artificial-intelligence/2015/03/22/summary-of-computing-machinery-and-intelligence-alan-turing.html)
### TODO
* [Turing Machine](Turing%20Machine.md) vs [Finite State Automata](Finite%20State%20Automata.md)
* How does Turing principle relate to self similarity? (may want to update notes on [Self-Similarity](Self-Similarity.md) / [Self Similarity - Dr Johnsons Criteria](Self-Similarity.md#Dr%20Johnsons%20Criteria))
* Address open questions in: [Is Logical Consistency a greater governing force than The Laws of Physics?](Is%20Logical%20Consistency%20a%20greater%20governing%20force%20than%20The%20Laws%20of%20Physics?.md)
* [What is Computation? How Does Nature Compute?](What%20is%20Computation?%20How%20Does%20Nature%20Compute?.pdf)
* [Quantum theory, the Church-Turing principle and the universal quantum computer](Quantum%20theory,%20the%20Church-Turing%20principle%20and%20the%20universal%20quantum%20computer.pdf)
* [Constructor Theory](Constructor%20Theory.pdf)
* Could a human be an analogue computer, or must they be digital (see chapter 6 BOI)
* What did Turing prove? [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/share/e/673ca147-4f0c-8006-81be-404c57dd2309)
* Is the brain a universal computer? Is it digital or analogue?
* Are human brains discrete or analogue? How would deutsch argue for this? Penrose?
* Address todo question in [Computation is a Physical Process](Computation%20is%20a%20Physical%20Process.md)
* [Reach and Constraints](Reach%20and%20Constraints.md)
## Add / Update
* [Is the Universe a Computer?](Is%20the%20Universe%20a%20Computer?.md)
