CHAPTER

The Turing Church During Thesis

The church during thesis is the thesis that what is intuitively computable Is computable by Turing machines. There's no solid serious evidence that That that we can construct Physical systems that can compute anything beyond what a Turing machine can compute Or that brains could do anything. So, I mean like you know big your favorite example of a Turing Uncomputable function like the halting problem for three machines Well, I mean nobody can just stare at the problem and find the solution And say oh, yeah, I know here. I'll give you the answer Yeah, that would be an example of human beings Computing something or somehow finding the solution to a problem. That's not Turing computable, but nobody
