What's a UTM with no program?
A Gift of God.
It is a universal machine virgin of any program. A computer without
application. An interpreter without program, nor data.
Some years ago, you could buy them at the store, and program them at
their basic level, in binary, or in hexadecimal. Or, in assembly
language, or in any virtual universal numbers they will get. Today
they are full of applications, whose codes are the numbers that the
universal number, the UTM, will emulate.
From the 1p view, It is you, I think.
But, like the modern computer, the universality is hidden by the
forest of applications. You might remember what it is, to be a UTM
without programs, by taking holiday (a good approximation, perhaps) or
by doing a sense deprivation experience, or in the sleep, or with
dissociative technics, or just letting go.
A universal number is a number which can compute all the phi_i. It is
itself a certain u, computing a universal function phi_u:
phi_u(<i,j>) = phi_i(j). For all i, j.
The data of the universal program u is
i, the program for phi_i,
and j, the data of the program i that u will imitate on j.
<i,j> is a number coding the giving of i and j.
Here the UTM without program is u itself.
The 3p-self of u is u. The 3p activity of u is given by the function
phi_u. The 1p self of u is, well, like I describe above, it is you,
without thinking to much and letting go the mundane representational
identifications.
If you try, unplug the phone, as the ringing of a phone is already a
data/programs stream enough to prevent the remembering of the innocent
time without applications, or, in case you got it, to wake you up to
the rich but hard reality of the UTM with programs, tasks, news,
bills, etc.
