This work addresses theoretical connections between computation and biology, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing Turing machine concepts without introducing new methods or data.
The authors constructed a pedagogical universal Turing machine to explore comparisons with biological phenomena based on its encoding and operation.
In the present paper, we construct what we call a pedagogical universal Turing machine. We try to understand which comparisons with biological phenomena can be deduced from its encoding and from its working.
