An Intensional Concurrent Faithful Encoding of Turing Machines [PDF]
The benchmark for computation is typically given as Turing computability; the ability for a computation to be performed by a Turing Machine. Many languages exploit (indirect) encodings of Turing Machines to demonstrate their ability to support arbitrary ...

A Concrete View of Rule 110 Computation [PDF]
Rule 110 is a cellular automaton that performs repeated simultaneous updates of an infinite row of binary values. The values are updated in the following way: 0s are changed to 1s at all positions where the value to the right is a 1, while 1s are changed

A mechanical Turing machine: blueprint for a biomolecular computer [PDF]
We describe a working mechanical device that embodies the theoretical computing machine of Alan Turing, and as such is a universal programmable computer. The device operates on three-dimensional building blocks by applying mechanical analogues of polymer

Constructive Many-one Reduction from the Halting Problem to Semi-unification (Extended Version) [PDF]
Semi-unification is the combination of first-order unification and first-order matching. The undecidability of semi-unification has been proven by Kfoury, Tiuryn, and Urzyczyn in the 1990s by Turing reduction from Turing machine immortality (existence of

Pushdown Automata and Context-Free Grammars in Bisimulation Semantics [PDF]
The Turing machine models an old-fashioned computer, that does not interact with the user or with other computers, and only does batch processing. Therefore, we came up with a Reactive Turing Machine that does not have these shortcomings. In the Reactive

A Formalization and Proof of the Extended Church-Turing Thesis -Extended Abstract- [PDF]
We prove the Extended Church-Turing Thesis: Every effective algorithm can be efficiently simulated by a Turing machine. This is accomplished by emulating an effective algorithm via an abstract state machine, and simulating such an abstract state machine ...

How Hard Is It to Detect Surveillance? A Formal Study of Panopticons and Their Detectability Problem
The Panopticon (which means “watcher of everything”) is a well-known prison structure of continuous surveillance and discipline studied by Bentham in 1785. Today, where persistent, massive scale, surveillance is immensely facilitated by new technologies,
