You realize that is what a Zeno machine is based on: More formally, a *Zeno machine* is a Turing machine that takes 2−*n* units of time to perform its *n*-th step; thus, the first step takes 0.5 units of time, the second takes 0.25, the third 0.125 and so on, so that after one unit of time, a countably infinite <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countably_infinite> (i.e. ℵ0 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_0#Aleph-null>) number of steps will have been performed. - pt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
