Generation

# Turing Completeness A system is **Turing complete** if it can simulate any Turing machine, meaning it can compute any computable function given enough time and memory. The key requirement is that the system must support: 1. Conditional branching (if-then-else) 2. Arbitrary memory read/write 3. A way to repeat operations (loops or recursion) **Key concept**: A function f is computable if there exists a Turing machine M such that **M(x) = f(x)** for all inputs x in the domain of f. Any two Turing-complete systems can simulate each other, making them equivalent in computational power (Church-Turing thesis).
