Minsky's Machine

Minsky's Machine is a theoretical model used to understand computation, similar to a simplified computer. It consists of a finite number of registers (which hold numbers) and a set of instructions that manipulate these numbers. The machine operates step-by-step, reading and writing to registers based on conditions, enabling it to perform any calculation a computer can. It’s a way to study the fundamental principles of computation and algorithms, illustrating how simple components can produce complex behavior. Essentially, it demonstrates that even basic systems can be powerful enough to simulate any computational process.
