Yes, but since the system may never return to that internal state, it is no
longer a TM, though it may be thought of as a sequence of TMs.

Once again, the interesting question is not "Is NARS a TM?", but "Is NARS a
TM with respect to problem P?"  If the problem is "To answer Ben's email on
`AI and compuation'", then the system is not a TM (though it may be a TM in
many other senses).  For this reason, to discuss the computability and
computational complexity of P because meaningless for such a system.
