How not?  A single UTM can emulate any TM representing NARS in some state
dealing with the problem of "replying to Ben's e-mail", and emulate the
process of generating the new TM from the old TM.  Nothing magical about
transformations of Turing machines.  How are you going beyond anything?

It's not whether NARS always acts like a TM, it's whether a UTM can act like
NARS.  NARS is running on computers, clearly the answer is yes.
