MOV is Turing complete!mov is Turing-complete", by Stephen Dolan...interesting paper. Love this in the abstractQuoteIt is well known that the x86 instruction set in baroque, over-complicated and redundantly redundant...Yes, that's a great intro to things to come!It actually makes sense, I would say that mov and the classic Turing tape machine with a single write/read head are very similar?Yes I agree. I need to read the paper in more detail as I am not sure how he implemented the state machine. The state seems to be encoded along with the paper tape (memory) somehow.I also like his comment that he does not want to write a compiler that just uses mov!
