The machine starts from an initial state and input. It produces an output or loops forever. This formal object captures every effective procedure that can be carried out by finite means.\\n\\nTuring proved that some questions about these machines have no general answer. One such question is whether a given machine will ever halt on a given input. The proof constructs a machine that simulates any other machine and then shows that assuming a general halting decider leads to contradiction. The result follows directly from the definition of the machine and the diagonal argument.\\n\\nTuring later modeled pattern formation in biology with the same style of equations. Two chemicals react and diffuse. Under specific rate conditions the uniform state becomes unstable to small spatial perturbations. Stable non-uniform patterns emerge. The mathematics is the same style of stability analysis used in the 1936 work.\\n\\n## Exact Primary Works\\n\\nThe 1936 paper states: \\\"The 'computable' numbers may be described briefly as the real numbers whose expressions as a decimal are calculable by finite means.\\\" It defines the Turing machine and proves the Entscheidungsproblem has no solution.
