You were so quick to virtue signal and bash Twunpf that you forgot to not be racist.

It increments its tape position variable. Its never the same state.

State isnt just tape, its all dependent variables.

Some turing machine variants have multiple tapes, effectively registers.

If the tape, instruction position, and all other variables are the same as any previous step, then the deterministic machine is going to continue to find itself in that loop, and never halt.

Think Collatz like functions - if the output starts into a loop, you know the end result.

However, any program trying to detect all loops by maintaining a bloom filter of every previous state doesnt work, that drags any computation down by a scale of its inputs^runtime.

Total state, not just tape.

Meaning stack, pointer Location, etc.

I had thought this was all people misunderstanding each other's descriptions of their inner subjective experiences; but if this is accurate I switch sides.

Electricity in the brain is all we are.

Also its more aligned with the general theory of mind, that destinct variety of peoples would naturally observe destinct variations of sensory qualia and exhibit different internal subjective experiences.

Naturally conscious language fails to articulate these gaps because they are themselves the lack of words.

platos cave, etc
