Hi guys and girls, I have a question about the concept of the universal dovetailer. I understand that the necessity to postulate the UD follows from the Halting Problem (HP): since there are uncomputable functions from N to N, and since because of the HP there is no algorithm for deciding which functions are computable, we need a UD to dovetail all possible functions zigzag-style.
Now my question is: Does this mean that the UD dovetails all possible functions, including the uncomputable ones? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
