A Turing Model refers to a theoretical framework for understanding computation and algorithms, based on the work of Alan Turing. It describes how a machine can manipulate symbols on a tape according to a set of rules, effectively simulating any algorithmic process. This concept is foundational in computer science, illustrating the limits of what can be computed. In addition to its theoretical significance, Turing Models help in the development of programming languages and computational systems. They provide a basis for understanding Turing completeness, which indicates that a system can perform any computation that a Turing machine can, given enough time and resources.
