Universal Machine

A Universal Machine is a theoretical computer that can simulate any other computer or program, given the right input and instructions. Think of it as an all-in-one machine that, with the proper code, can perform any computable task. It forms the basis of modern computing concepts, showcasing that a single, flexible system can execute any algorithm, making it fundamental to computer science’s understanding of what machines can do. This concept underpins the design of general-purpose computers, like laptops and smartphones.
