Universality in Computing

Universality in computing refers to the idea that a single type of device or system, known as a universal machine, can simulate any other computational process or machine. For example, a universal computer or a programmable computer can run any program or perform any calculation that any other computer can, given the correct software and resources. This concept underscores the flexibility and power of modern computers, demonstrating that they are not limited to specific tasks, but can adapt to a wide range of problems through programming.
