This might be of interest to some of you, for instance Bruno, since one of the ideals expounded here is "keep it simple". Sorry I haven't been participating here.
>From Wolfram Science Group: We're excited to announce that the $25,000 Wolfram 2,3 Turing Machine Research Prize has been won. Alex Smith, a 20-year-old undergraduate in Birmingham, UK, has given a 40-page proof that Wolfram's 2,3 Turing machine is indeed universal. This result ends a half-century quest to find the simplest possible universal Turing machine. It also provides strong further evidence for Wolfram's Principle of Computational Equivalence. The official prize ceremony is planned for November at Bletchley Park, UK, site of Alan Turing's wartime work. For more information about the prize and the solution, see: http://www.wolframprize.org Stephen Wolfram has posted his personal reaction to the prize at: http://blog.wolfram.com/2007/10/the_prize_is_won_the_simplest.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
