Are 'Good' Computer Viruses Still a Bad Idea?
definition is mathematical - it defines the computer virus as a sequence of symbols on thetape of a Turing Machine. The definition is rather difficult to express exactly in a human language, but an ap ... purpose, one needs a mathematical model of the computer. One of the most commonly usedmodels is the Turing Machine (TM). Indeed, there are a few others (e.g., the Markoff chains, the Post Machine, etc ...

What is functionalism? Critically assess its main advantages and disadvantages.
s.There are several different types of functionalism, each based on different models; these include Turing machine functionalism, causal theory of mind, and teleological (homuncular) functionalism. Tu ... ionalism, proposed by Hilary Putnam, uses as its model a special theoretical mechanical device (the Turing machine). Most succinctly, the machine (a) receives input, (b) carries out the instructions o ...

Programming Languages: How were they created, which language was their compilers created in, and the hierarchy followed in their creation.
e case, the language is flawed. Another thing that needs to be ensured is that the language must be Turing Complete, i.e., the model of the language must be equivalent to a model of a Turing machine. ... There is nothing stating that the compiler for a language must be written in the same language. Any Turing complete language that can take a string input and can produce binary output can be used to w ...
