# Turing Completeness **Precise definition:** A computational system is Turing complete if it can simulate any Turing machine, meaning it can compute any function that any other programmable computer can compute, given enough time and memory. **Why it matters:** Turing completeness establishes the theoretical upper bound of what's computable—any Turing-complete system can solve exactly the same class of problems as any other, making them all equivalent in computational power. This means you can theoretically write any program in any Turing-complete language (Python, JavaScript, even Excel formulas), though practical considerations like efficiency and expressiveness differ dramatically.
