You really don't understand computability at all, do you?

That's not a personal attack, it's an honest question.

SCTB is correct.

Sticking to the subject matter is the way to go.

IMODE: Which part of the Actor Model theory of computation do you not understand?

Jean is correct! Of course, unbounded nondeterminism is a somewhat artificial example. However, the extra power of Actors over Turing Machines is critical for IoT and the implementation of Intelligent Systems.

I'm sorry, but unless you produce a proof of hypercomputation with models that have unbounded determinism, you're a crank.

As explained in the articles referenced, Actor systems have unbounded nondeterminism because of indeterminacy.

No "hypercomputation" is required ;-)
