### Alan Turing Here’s a simple breakdown: **Shannon Machines:** - Start with data structures, with computation as secondary. - Focus on associative memory and managing state. - Use binary operators and bit transforms for math simulation. **Turing Machines:** - Start with basic arithmetic and build up to computation. - Provide a theoretical framework, independent of practical implementation. - Use algorithms to simulate any computing process.
