   fuck dude sorry "operation" is the term turing used, i added to the list   
   of possible operations with RTMs, my god dude...   
      
   see how fucking unhelpful u are???

   no one has defined "computation" well enough to prove that turing   
   machines can compute them all,   
      
   that's why it's the ct-thesis dude, not ct-law,   
      
   ur just affirming the consequent without proof.   
      
   add that to list of the growing fallacies i've pointed out in ur recent   
   arguments, which i'm sure ur not actually tracking, as that would be far   
   more honesty than u are capable of putting out.

   ...including a context-dependent sub-computation makes ur overall   
   computation context-dependent too ... if u dont want a context-dependent   
   computation don't include context-dependent sub-computation.   
      
   but in order to be complete and coherent, certain computations *must*   
   have context-awareness and are therefore context-dependent. these   
   computations aren't generally computable by TMs because TMs lack the   
   necessary mechanisms to grant context-awareness.   
      
   unless u can produce some actual proof of some computation that actually   
   breaks in context-dependence, rather than just listing things u assume   
   are true, i won't believe u know what ur talking about
