The Church-Turing Thesis: Breaking the Myth | Lambda the Ultimate

The Church-Turing thesis has since been reinterpreted to imply that Turing Machines model all computations, rather than just functions. This claim, which we call the Strong Church-Turing Thesis, is part of the mainstream theory of computation. In particular, it can be found in today's popular undergraduate theory textbooks:

Strong Church-Turing Thesis: A TM can do (compute) anything that a computer can do.

It is a myth that the original Church-Turing thesis is equivalent to this interpretation of it; Turing himself would have denied it.
