   RTMs can run TM machine_descriptions directly without modification   
   because REFLECT is just an operation that need not be used in the   
   computation

   or u just don't understand what i mean by RTM,   
      
   maybe ur just too old for me teach any new tricks...

   richard, please do actually read turing's paper one of these days. i've   
   already posted at you his first machine description in text, and now   
   i'll post it in image form:   
      
   https://imgur.com/a/pzhHTMb   
      
   do let me know when ur done with retardedly quibbling over syntax so we   
   can actually get around to discussing semantics one of these days,   
      
   god i wish i had someone like turing to discuss this with, but so far ur   
   the only still responding to any depth.
