Feb 21, 2015 at 12:29 comment added Drathier how can you solve the halting problem? I'm guessing it has something to do with using an infinite (number of infinite) program?
Jan 19, 2015 at 16:23 comment added Phil Frost @proudhaskeller I'm pretty sure I've got something wrong, but I'm out of time for this. I've made it community wiki -- if you want to give it a shot feel free.

Jan 19, 2015 at 15:46 comment added Phil Frost @proudhaskeller I'll give it a try if you promise to check my work.

Jan 19, 2015 at 15:32 comment added proud haskeller I think you should evaluate all of the programs to the lambda equivalent. Im a bit curious what would the last one be... Also, the first one reduces to the identity function.
Jan 19, 2015 at 15:27 comment added Phil Frost @proudhaskeller Yes, but combinatory logic requires an infinite set of variables and parenthesis in its syntax. Jot has neither: 1 and 0 are the only characters in the language.

Jan 19, 2015 at 15:21 comment added Optimizer You said so for upvote number 4. But here we are looking at a "random number you just generated"
Jan 19, 2015 at 15:19 comment added Phil Frost @Optimizer with 5 votes I can give the next step in the Turing completeness proof.
Jan 19, 2015 at 15:18 comment added Optimizer I don't see why this should continue getting more upvotes. You are simply going to generate random binary numbers of increasing length :|

Jan 19, 2015 at 15:02 comment added proud haskeller @PhilFrost There are single combinators which are turing complete by themselves.
Jan 19, 2015 at 14:22 comment added Phil Frost @JanDvorak working on it...it's been so long since I researched this thing that I forgot all of it :)
Jan 19, 2015 at 14:20 comment added John Dvorak Two upvotes given. Now define the language.
