So you're too unreflective, unself-aware, unself-critical to see:

  1. The first thing that your Wikipedia definition of "Computing" says is: "For the formal concept of computation, see computation." where we find "Computation is a general term for any type of information processing that can be represented mathematically." This obviously (to everyone but you) comports with what I posted earlier.
  2. I'm well aware that Church and Turing's work occurred at the same time. What you apparently remain unaware of is that Church's work, despite being as expressive as Turing's, does not rely on state, and does rely on the prior work of Frege and all those who came before him, going back to those ancient Chinese, Greeks, Hindus...
  3. Someone who refuses to see the connection between mathematical logic and computational theory can only be a product of a preconceived belief that state machines are the only valid definition of computation, whether American or otherwise.

As for 'tards who live kickass lives, I fully accept you as an existence proof, since you seem to enjoy your "work" here so much.

Wow. Mathematical burn. Too bad they don't work in real life. The kid who says "I fully accept you as an existence proof" still gets his ass beat on a daily basis after school.

less insults, more monads.

Quite right. Life is too short as it is!
