10 On Computable Numbers (1936) Goff GEND Fall 16 6/ 24
11 Turing Machine (TM) T describes what would be called the Turing Machine : a machine with a set of configurations; a tape divided into squares; a scanner to read the tape erase symbol there write new symbol there (0 or 1, or perhaps 0-9) move right or left one square change to a new configuration Goff GEND Fall 16 7/ 24
12 Impossibility (T, 1936) T shows that the Entscheidungsproblem can be reduced to a similar decision problem about a TM, one with a negative result. Goff GEND Fall 16 8/ 24
13 Impossibility (T, 1936) T shows that the Entscheidungsproblem can be reduced to a similar decision problem about a TM, one with a negative result. Therefore Turing proves that Hilbert s Entscheidungsproblem is impossible. Goff GEND Fall 16 8/ 24
14 Impossibility (T, 1936) T shows that the Entscheidungsproblem can be reduced to a similar decision problem about a TM, one with a negative result. Therefore Turing proves that Hilbert s Entscheidungsproblem is impossible. Solved independently in 1936 by Alonzo Church ( ). Goff GEND Fall 16 8/ 24

19 Theory & Practice T was always a tinkerer. He built a few early computers, and wanted to write a chess program. The Point: T did more than just come up with the mathematics and logic. He also did the engineering. Goff GEND Fall 16 10/ 24

I PROPOSE to consider the question, ' Can machines think? ' This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the ttms ' machine ' and' think '. The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous.
