{{task}} One of the foundational mathematical constructs behind computer science is the [[wp:Universal Turing machine|universal Turing Machine]].
Indeed one way to definitively prove that a language is [[wp:Turing_completeness|turing-complete]] is to implement a universal Turing machine in it.
;Task:
Simulate such a machine capable of taking the definition of any other Turing machine and executing it.
Of course, you will not have an infinite tape, but you should emulate this as much as is possible.
The three permissible actions on the tape are "left", "right" and "stay".
To test your universal Turing machine (and prove your programming language is Turing complete!), you should execute the following two Turing machines based on the following definitions.
'''Simple incrementer'''
- '''States:''' q0, qf
- '''Initial state:''' q0
- '''Terminating states:''' qf
- '''Permissible symbols:''' B, 1
- '''Blank symbol:''' B
- '''Rules:''' ** (q0, 1, 1, right, q0) ** (q0, B, 1, stay, qf)
The input for this machine should be a tape of 1 1 1
'''Three-state busy beaver'''
- '''States:''' a, b, c, halt
- '''Initial state:''' a
- '''Terminating states:''' halt
- '''Permissible symbols:''' 0, 1
- '''Blank symbol:''' 0
- '''Rules:''' ** (a, 0, 1, right, b) ** (a, 1, 1, left, c) ** (b, 0, 1, left, a) ** (b, 1, 1, right, b) ** (c, 0, 1, left, b) ** (c, 1, 1, stay, halt)
The input for this machine should be an empty tape.
'''Bonus:'''
'''5-state, 2-symbol probable Busy Beaver machine from Wikipedia'''
- '''States:''' A, B, C, D, E, H
- '''Initial state:''' A
- '''Terminating states:''' H
- '''Permissible symbols:''' 0, 1
- '''Blank symbol:''' 0
- '''Rules:''' ** (A, 0, 1, right, B) ** (A, 1, 1, left, C) ** (B, 0, 1, right, C) ** (B, 1, 1, right, B) ** (C, 0, 1, right, D) ** (C, 1, 0, left, E) ** (D, 0, 1, left, A) ** (D, 1, 1, left, D) ** (E, 0, 1, stay, H) ** (E, 1, 0, left, A)
The input for this machine should be an empty tape.
This machine runs for more than 47 millions steps.
Ada
The specification of the universal machine
Note that due to Ada's strict type system, a machine cannot be compiled if there is not exactly one rule for each state/symbol pair. Thus, the specified machine is always deterministic.
The execution of the machine, i.e., the procedure Run, allows to define a number Max_Steps, after which the execution stops -- when, e.g., the specified machine runs infinitively. The procedure also allows to optionally output the configuration of the machine before every step.

=The universal machine=
This program expects to find: • R$(), an array of rules; • T$, an input tape (where an empty string stands for a blank tape); • B$, a character to use as a blank; • S$, an initial state; • H$, a halting state. It will execute the Turing machine these parameters describe, animating the process and highlighting the cell that is currently being read using inverse video. (See below for a link to a screenshot.) No attempt is made to check that the description is valid or that the rule set is complete.
Non-universality: as written, the program will fail if you try to use it with a Turing machine that has more than 256 distinct states or a tape that is longer than 704 cells. (In reality, of course, the ZX81's RAM would have been exhausted some time before you reached such a Goliath.) Allowing more states would be pretty trivial, assuming you had the memory space; just use as many bytes as you need. As for supporting a longer tape, the easiest way to do it would be to comment out the PRINT statements (sacrificing the animation) and add a few lines to display one screenful at a time at the very end.

If it is true that the five-state probable beaver runs for 47m cycles, then there is no point even attempting it on a slow computer like the ZX81. I don't know exactly how long it would take: but it would be months.

'''These are the files you'll need'''
File explanation:
Each line contains one tuple of the form '
B = blank, H = halt, N = do nothing, * matches any current symbol
' = marks the end of the action table
! = blank symbol => eg: !0 => 0 is the blank symbol

## Common Lisp
### Iterative version
The infinite tape is represented by two lists:
# front contains all cells before the current cell in reverse order (i.e. the first element in front is the direct predecessor of the current cell)
# back contains the current cell as its first element, followed by all successors.
```lisp
(defun turing (initial terminal blank rules tape &optional (verbose NIL))
(labels ((combine (front back)
(if front
(combine (cdr front) (cons (car front) back))
back))
(update-tape (old-front old-back new-content move)
(cond ((eq move 'right)
(list (cons new-content old-front)

(T (list old-front
(cons new-content (cdr old-back))))))
(show-tape (front back)
(format T "~{~a~}[~a]~{~a~}~%"
(nreverse (subseq front 0 (min 10 (length front))))
(or (car back) blank)
(subseq (cdr back) 0 (min 10 (length (cdr back)))))))
(loop for back = tape then new-back
for front = '() then new-front
for state = initial then new-state

## EchoLisp
We define a Turing machine as an instance of TM struct, which stores the definition values (states,symbols,rules) and the current state values (state, tape, position). It can be stopped, restarted, called as a sub-program, or transformed into a sequence or stream.'Huge' TM are run in the background. Rules are compiled into a vector indexed by state * symbol.

The following code is an Escript which can be placed into a file and run as escript filename or simply marked as executable and run directly via the provided shebang header. -type and -spec declarations have not been used; using the typer utility can get a head start on this process should a more robust solution be desired.
In this universal Turing machine simulator, a machine is defined by giving it a configuration function that returns the initial state, the halting states and the blank symbol, as well as a function for the rules. These are passed in to the public interface turing/3 as funs, together with the initial tape setup.

In [http://wiki.formulae.org/Universal_Turing_Machine this] page you can see the solution of this task.
Fōrmulæ programs are not textual, visualization/edition of programs is done showing/manipulating structures but not text ([http://wiki.formulae.org/Editing_F%C5%8Drmul%C3%A6_expressions more info]). Moreover, there can be multiple visual representations of the same program. Even though it is possible to have textual representation —i.e. XML, JSON— they are intended for transportation effects more than visualization and edition.
The option to show Fōrmulæ programs and their results is showing images. Unfortunately images cannot be uploaded in Rosetta Code.

### The plan
A Turing machine is the apotheosis of spaghetti code, because every action is followed by a GO TO another state. This is rather like SNOBOL, where every statement succeeds or fails, and is (optionally) followed by a GO TO for each condition. This in turn means that there is no special ordering of the states, aside from indicating which is to be the starting point. One can reorder them to taste. Accordingly, the plan is to number the states 1, 2, ''etc.'' with zero reserved to mean HALT and the starting state to be number one, no matter what names happen to be associated with a description of the states and their transitions. This has the advantage that the test for stopping is not STATE = ENDSTATE where STATE and ENDSTATE are some cute texts involving "HALT" or somesuch, but just STATE = 0, and not some arbitrary integer in a variable but a constant and a special constant at that. In short, the computer should be able to make this test without any subtraction, just inspecting the value of STATE as by loading into the accumulator whereby indicators are set. Alas, intel cpus employ cmp dword ptr [STATE (00476620)],0 so they do perform a subtraction anyway, and I wonder why I bother. But, ''principle is to be upheld!''
Similarly, various symbols are described as being on the tape but they can be deemed to be symbol number 0, symbol number 1, and so on, as numerical values and not character codes (be they ASCII or whatever), in whatever order is convenient.
With this in mind, after some cogitation it was clear that the transition tables could be specified in a basic way involving only numerical values, and that each state would have NSYMBOL entries. Thus, the table would be indexed as a two-dimensional array, (STATE,SYMBOL) where SYMBOL was the (number of) the symbol under the tape's read/write head. Since this project involves a variety of Turing machines that manipulate a varying collection of symbols, the transition table would have to be dimensioned according to the problem. But this is distasteful, because it means that the array indexing involves variables rather than constants, slowing the calculation. Similarly, one could define a compound data aggregate such as TRANSITION(state,symbol) with sub entries MARK, MOVE, and NEXT at the cost of more complex indexing again - plus requiring the facilities of F90 and later.
Instead the plan was to use one dimensional arrays, and to perform the indexing via IT = STATE*NSYMBOL - S for symbol number S after which the transition entries would be MARK(IT), MOVE(IT), and NEXT(IT). This scheme has ''no'' CASE-statements nor compound IF-statements to identify the individual states and the particular symbol under the read/write head so as to select the correct transition. Hopefully, the compiler will recognise the similar shape of each array and reduce its code accordingly. The subtraction of the symbol code rather than addition is due to the more normal IT = (STATE - 1)*NSYMBOL + S requiring an extra subtraction, which is to be avoided. Otherwise the transition table would have unused entries at the start (because state zero requires no transitions) and this waste causes an itch.
The input scheme initially required a numbers-only style of description (so free-format reading could be used), and translating to the reduced scheme from the different presentation styles of the example Turing machine descriptions was tricky. The initial format required that the transitions for each state be entered in reverse numerical order of the number of the symbol being recognised, with no mention of the symbol because it was deduced by the order of entry, just the MARK, MOVE, and NEXT values, as follows:
```txt
1 State 1
1,-1, 3
1,+1, 2
2 State 2
1,+1, 2
1,-1, 1
```
Since only one number was required on the STATE lines, a comment can follow the value. Although this avoided redundant data (there being no need to give the state number on every line as well) it proved to be troublesome to prepare, so for the larger descriptions (involving a conversion of state names to numbers, and symbol glyphs to symbol numbers), a retreat: present the symbol number, and allow the entries to be in any order - such as increasing. When the transition table as ingested is printed, this means that the entry numbers are in an odd order, but no matter. Should there be an error in the input, a mess will result but preparing a more flexible input arrangement would require a lot more code.
Specifying the initial state of the tape proved a bit tricky in the case when it was to be entirely blank, as end-of-file problems arose. So for that case a single zero was supplied and the problem went away... The tape's initial state is all zero anyway. Remember that in the scheme here this is symbol number zero, not "0".
After the first version was working, annoyance with the numerical symbol specification scheme prompted an escalation to the ability to specify an alphabet of arbitrary symbols, rather than symbol number 0, number 1, etc. but this could cause difficulty with the free-format reading, especially if one symbol were to be a blank. It transpired that character data could be read into character variables in free-format with or without quotes around them, provided that outside quotes a desired symbol is neither a space nor a comma. Thus the initial specification of two symbols might be "01" or "10" or "AB" or AB for the content of SYMBOLS, and when the transition table is read, the supplied symbol is sought within SYMBOLS. The internal working continues with the number of the symbol, not the symbol's numerical value.
The next escalation concerned attempts to keep track of the bounds of the read/write head's position. The original display was a bit disappointing as the great expanse of zero values was oppressive to the eye. By introducing variables HMIN and HMAX a track could be kept of what span of the tape had been explicitly initialised and seen by the read/write head. Tape cells outside those bounds still have symbol number zero (sometimes named as B) but blanks were shown. However, maintaining those bounds added to the effort of the simple interpretation loop, and after some thought it became clear that a special additional symbol could be introduced so that symbol number zero would have a space as its symbol, and the declared symbols would be numbered one to N rather than 0 to N - 1. By making its action entries the same as for the first symbol, all would be well. At the end of the run that tape (alas, a finite tape) could be scanned to ascertain the bounds of action.
In short, state one is special, it is the starting state. Symbol one (that would previously have been counted as symbol number zero) is special, it is synonymous with blank tape - which holds symbol(0), which when printed is a blank...
### Source
This is in F77 style, and just one mainline. The Turing action is effected by just five statements:
```Fortran
200 I = STATE*NSYMBOL - ICHAR(TAPE(HEAD)) !Index the transition.
TAPE(HEAD) = MARK(I) !Do it. Possibly not changing the symbol.
HEAD = HEAD + MOVE(I) !Possibly not moving the head.
STATE = ICHAR(NEXT(I)) !Hopefully, something has changed!
IF (STATE.GT.0) GO TO 200 !Otherwise, we might loop forever...
```
Which manifests the ability to read and write memory, simple arithmetic, and a conditional branch. This is all it takes. And thanks to Kurt Gödel, it is known that simple arithmetic is enough to construct statements that are true, but unprovable.
The use of ICHAR() and CHAR() hopefully involves no machine code effort, they are merely a genuflection to the rules of type checking to calm the compiler. Most of the blather is concerned with acquiring the description (with minimal checking), and preparing some trace output.
Showing the head movement with a plus sign for positive movement but not zero proved a bit tricky, given that an uninitialised MOVE entry has the obtrusive value of -60 so that function SIGN doesn't help: SIGN(1,-60) gives -1, but SIGN(1,0) gives 1. SIGN(MAX(-1,i),i) would do and now this is becoming messy, so array indexing trickery is out unless a special function is to be supplied - but this is a mainline-only attempt. The SP format code causes the appearance of a plus for subsequent fields but alas, zero has a plus sign also. So, write to a text variable, place the plus sign if wanted, and write the resulting text.

### Results
Rather than show the input file and its possibly oddly-ordered entries, its presentation in the output is more regular if with oddly-ordered entry numbering... The symbols on the tape are presented in a two-character field so that the one under the tape read/write head can be shown .

After the run the transition table is shown again, augmented by counts for each entry, and with the extra symbol shown as well as those in the supplied table. Here is the same specification but with 01 replaced by BA:

```
With the equivalent output. No significance is ascribed to the glyphs, other than that the first symbol is taken as being synonymous with blank tape. For each state, the entry for that first symbol is duplicated for symbol zero, which is reserved for blank tape that will be depicted as blank not whatever the first symbol is - which can't be a space, given free-format input without quoting...

Removing the code maintaining the bounds HMIN and HMAX as HEAD wandered about reduced the cpu time from 0·578 to 0·562, and reducing the progress report to every ten-millionth step reduced that to 0·516. But adding the code to count the usage of each transition raised it to 0·641. Removing the usage count and the progress report got it down to 0·484. Removing the compiler's array bound checking and activating "maximum optimisations" achieved 0·312. Reverting to normal runs and introducing the check IF (HEAD.LT.FIRST .OR. HEAD.GT.LAST) changed the run time from 0·703 to 0·75. Thus, 47 million tests in 0·05 seconds - not much of a cost for peace of mind.

## Haskell
### Simple Universal Turing Machine
In this program the tape is infinite, and the machines rules are coded in Haskell as a function from state and value to action, using Haskell as a DSL.
```haskell
-- Some elementary types for Turing Machine
data Move = MLeft | MRight | Stay deriving (Show, Eq)
data Tape a = Tape a [a] [a]
data Action state val = Action val Move state deriving (Show)
instance (Show a) => Show (Tape a) where
show (Tape x lts rts) = concat $ left ++ [hd] ++ right
where hd = "[" ++ show x ++ "]"
left = map show $ reverse $ take 10 lts
right = map show $ take 10 rts
-- new tape
tape blank lts rts | null rts = Tape blank left blanks
| otherwise = Tape (head rts) left right
where blanks = repeat blank
left = reverse lts ++ blanks
right = tail rts ++ blanks
-- Turing Machine
step rules (state, Tape x (lh:lts) (rh:rts)) = (state', tape')
where Action x' dir state' = rules state x
tape' = move dir
move Stay = Tape x' (lh:lts) (rh:rts)
move MLeft = Tape lh lts (x':rh:rts)
move MRight = Tape rh (x':lh:lts) rts
runUTM rules stop start tape = steps ++ [final]
where (steps, final:_) = break ((== stop) . fst) $ iterate (step rules) (start, tape)
```
### =Increment machine=
```haskell
incr "q0" 1 = Action 1 MRight "q0"
incr "q0" 0 = Action 1 Stay "qf"
tape1 = tape 0 [] [1,1, 1]
machine1 = runUTM incr "qf" "q0" tape1
```
The output of the increment machine :
```haskell
*Main> mapM_ print machine1
("q0",0000000000[1]1100000000)
("q0",0000000001[1]1000000000)
("q0",0000000011[1]0000000000)
("q0",0000000111[0]0000000000)
("qf",0000000111[1]0000000000)
```
### =Beaver machine=
```haskell
beaver "a" 0 = Action 1 MRight "b"
beaver "a" 1 = Action 1 MLeft "c"
beaver "b" 0 = Action 1 MLeft "a"
beaver "b" 1 = Action 1 MRight "b"
beaver "c" 0 = Action 1 MLeft "b"
beaver "c" 1 = Action 1 Stay "halt"
tape2 = tape 0 [] []
machine2 = runUTM beaver "halt" "a" tape2
```
### =Sorting test=
```haskell
sorting "A" 1 = Action 1 MRight "A"
sorting "A" 2 = Action 3 MRight "B"
sorting "A" 0 = Action 0 MLeft "E"
sorting "B" 1 = Action 1 MRight "B"
sorting "B" 2 = Action 2 MRight "B"
sorting "B" 0 = Action 0 MLeft "C"
sorting "C" 1 = Action 2 MLeft "D"
sorting "C" 2 = Action 2 MLeft "C"
sorting "C" 3 = Action 2 MLeft "E"
sorting "D" 1 = Action 1 MLeft "D"
sorting "D" 2 = Action 2 MLeft "D"
sorting "D" 3 = Action 1 MRight "A"
sorting "E" 1 = Action 1 MLeft "E"
sorting "E" 0 = Action 0 MRight "STOP"
tape3 = tape 0 [] [2,2,2,1,2,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2]
machine3 = runUTM sorting "STOP" "A" tape3
```
### Using State Monad
A state monad represents the machine. It works with an arbitrary number of symbols and states, but all of them must be of the same type (integer, string...)
Intermediate states can be logged during execution, or they can be discarded. The initial and final states as well as errors are always logged.
Three functions are added so that machines can be written to a file and parsed/run from there. Examples are provided.
```haskell
import Control.Monad.State

data TapeMovement = MoveLeft | MoveRight | Stay deriving (Show, Eq)

-- Execution = (tape position, current machine state, tape)
type Execution a = (Int, a, [a])
type Log a = [Execution a]
type UTM a b = State (Machine a) b
-- can work with data of any type

## J
Source for this task was slightly adapted from http://www.2bestsystems.com/j/J_Conference_2012. All the information for the Turing machines is represented by integers, the halting state is set as _1 (minus one), and head movements are mapped as (left, stay, right) ➜ (_1, 0, 1). A Turing machine is executed until a halt state is issued or a trivial infinite regress in the form of a single changeless cycle is detected. The transition table entry format is similar to the one in
http://drb9.drb.insel.de/~heiner/BB/simAB3Y_SB.html.

## Java
{{works with|Java|5+}}
This is an implementation of the universal Turing machine in plain Java using standard libraries only. As generics are used, Java 5 is required. The examples (incrementer and busy beaver) are implemented directly in the main method and executed sequentially; as an additional third example, a sorting algorithm is implemented and executed in the end of the main method. During execution the complete tape and the current active transition are printed out in every step. The state names and tape symbols may contain several characters, so arbitrary strings such as "q1", "q2", ... can be valid state names or tape symbols. The machine is deterministic as the transitions are stored in a HashMap which uses state / tape symbol pairs as keys. This is self-coded, not a standard implementation, so there is no guarantee of correctness.

### The universal machine
Updated to use dynamic definition of a function. Values computed for each input are saved.
Functionally equivalent to computing a matrix for a set of inputs.
```Mathematica
left = 1; right = -1; stay = 0;
cmp[s_] := ToExpression[StringSplit[s, ","]];
utm[rules_, initial_, head_] :=
Module[{tape = initial, rh = head, n = 1},
Clear[nxt];
nxt[state_, field_] :=
nxt[state, field] = Position[rules, {rules[[state, 5]], field, _, _, _}][[1, 1]];
n = Position[rules, {rules[[n, 1]], BitGet[tape, rh], _, _, _}][[1,1]];
While[rules[[n, 4]] != 0,
If[rules[[n, 3]] != BitGet[tape, rh],
If[rules[[n, 3]] == 1, tape = BitSet[tape, rh],
tape = BitClear[tape, rh]]];
rh = rh + rules[[n, 4]];
If[rh < 0, rh = 0; tape = 2*tape];
n = nxt[n, BitGet[tape, rh]];
]; {tape, rh}
];
];
```
### A print routine and test drivers

## Mercury
### The universal machine
Source for this example was lightly adapted from [https://bitbucket.org/ttmrichter/turing https://bitbucket.org/ttmrichter/turing]. Of particular interest in this implementation is that because of the type parameterisation of the config type, the machine being simulated cannot be compiled if there is any mistake in the states, symbols and actions. Also, because of Mercury's determinism detection and enforcement, it's impossible to pass in a non-deterministic set of rules. At most one answer can come back from the rules interface.

### The incrementer machine
This machine has been stripped of the Mercury ceremony around modules, imports, etc.
```mercury
:- type incrementer_states ---> a ; halt.
:- type incrementer_symbols ---> b ; '1'.
:- func incrementer_config = config(incrementer_states, incrementer_symbols).
incrementer_config = config(a, % the initial state
set([halt]), % the set of halting states
b). % the blank symbol
:- pred incrementer(incrementer_states::in,
incrementer_symbols::in,
incrementer_symbols::out,
action::out,
incrementer_states::out) is semidet.
incrementer(a, '1', '1', right, a).
incrementer(a, b, '1', stay, halt).
TapeOut = turing(incrementer_config, incrementer, [1, 1, 1]).
```
This will, on execution, fill TapeOut with [1, 1, 1, 1].
### The busy beaver machine
This machine has been stripped of the Mercury ceremony around modules, imports, etc.

;; "A Turing Turtle": a Turing Machine implemented in NetLogo
;; by Dan Dewey 1/16/2016
;;
;; This NetLogo code implements a Turing Machine, see, e.g.,
;; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine
;; The Turing machine fits nicely into the NetLogo paradigm in which
;; there are agents (aka the turtles), that move around
;; in a world of "patches" (2D cells).
;; Here, a single agent represents the Turing machine read/write head
;; and the patches represent the Turing tape values via their colors.
;; The 2D array of patches is treated as a single long 1D tape in an
;; obvious way.
;; This program is presented as a NetLogo example on the page:
;; http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Universal_Turing_machine
;; This file may be larger than others on that page, note however
;; that I include many comments in the code and I have made no
;; effort to 'condense' the code, prefering clarity over compactness.
;; A demo and discussion of this program is on the web page:
;; http://sites.google.com/site/dan3deweyscspaimsportfolio/extra-turing-machine
;; The Copy example machine was taken from:
;; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine_examples
;; The "Busy Beaver" machines encoded below were taken from:
;; http://www.logique.jussieu.fr/~michel/ha.html
;; The implementation here allows 3 symbols (blank, 0, 1) on the tape
;; and 3 head motions (left, stay, right).
;; The 2D world is nominally set to be 29x29, going from (-14,-14) to
;; (14,14) from lower left to upper right and with (0,0) at the center.
;; This gives a total Turing tape length of 29^2 = 841 cells, sufficient for the
;; "Lazy" Beaver 5,2 example.
;; Since the max-pxcor variable is used in the code below (as opposed to
;; a hard-coded number), the effective tape size can be changed by
;; changing the size of the 2D world with the Settings... button on the interface.
;; The "Info" tab of the NetLogo interface contains some further comments.
;; - - - - - - -
;; - - - - - - - - - - - Global/Agent variables
;; These three 2D arrays (lists of lists) encode the Turing Machine rules:
;; WhatToWrite: -1 (Blank), 0, 1
;; HowToMove: -1 (left), 0(stay), 1 (right)
;; NextState: 0 to N-1, negative value goes to a halt state.
;; The above are a function of the current state and the current tape (patch) value.
;; MachineState is used by the turtle to pass the current state of the Turing machine
;; (or the halt code) to the observer.

## Pascal
The code uses a stringlist to store the rules.
It also uses a stringlist to store the output.
It should straightforward to follow.
The 47,000,000 step busy beaver executes in 40 secs on my computer. For greater speed, it would be better to use a fixed size array to store the output (rather than a stringlist) when simulating Turing machines programs which have a large number of steps.

## Prolog
### The universal machine
Source for this example was lightly adapted from [https://bitbucket.org/ttmrichter/turing https://bitbucket.org/ttmrichter/turing]. This machine, because of Prolog's dynamic nature, has to check its configuration and the rules' compliance to the same at run-time. This is the role of all but the first of the memberchk/2 predicates. In addition, calling the user-supplied rules has to be wrapped in a once/1 wrapper because there is no way to guarantee in advance that the rules provided are deterministic. (An alternative to doing this is to simply allow perform/5 to be non-deterministic or to check for multiple results and report an error on such.)
```prolog
turing(Config, Rules, TapeIn, TapeOut) :-
call(Config, IS, _, _, _, _),
perform(Config, Rules, IS, {[], TapeIn}, {Ls, Rs}),
reverse(Ls, Ls1),
append(Ls1, Rs, TapeOut).
perform(Config, Rules, State, TapeIn, TapeOut) :-
call(Config, _, FS, RS, B, Symbols),
( memberchk(State, FS) ->
TapeOut = TapeIn
; memberchk(State, RS) ->
{LeftIn, RightIn} = TapeIn,
symbol(RightIn, Symbol, RightRem, B),
memberchk(Symbol, Symbols),
once(call(Rules, State, Symbol, NewSymbol, Action, NewState)),
memberchk(NewSymbol, Symbols),
action(Action, {LeftIn, [NewSymbol|RightRem]}, {LeftOut, RightOut}, B),
perform(Config, Rules, NewState, {LeftOut, RightOut}, TapeOut) ).
symbol([], B, [], B).
symbol([Sym|Rs], Sym, Rs, _).
action(left, {Lin, Rin}, {Lout, Rout}, B) :- left(Lin, Rin, Lout, Rout, B).
action(stay, Tape, Tape, _).
action(right, {Lin, Rin}, {Lout, Rout}, B) :- right(Lin, Rin, Lout, Rout, B).
left([], Rs, [], [B|Rs], B).
left([L|Ls], Rs, Ls, [L|Rs], _).
right(L, [], [B|L], [], B).
right(L, [S|Rs], [S|L], Rs, _).
```
### The incrementer machine
```prolog
incrementer_config(IS, FS, RS, B, S) :-
IS = q0, % initial state
FS = [qf], % halting states
RS = [IS], % running states
B = 0, % blank symbol
S = [B, 1]. % valid symbols
incrementer(q0, 1, 1, right, q0).
incrementer(q0, b, 1, stay, qf).
turing(incrementer_config, incrementer, [1, 1, 1], TapeOut).
```
This will, on execution, fill TapeOut with [1, 1, 1, 1].
### The busy beaver machine
```prolog
busy_beaver_config(IS, FS, RS, B, S) :-
IS = 'A', % initial state
FS = ['HALT'], % halting states
RS = [IS, 'B', 'C'], % running states
B = 0, % blank symbol
S = [B, 1]. % valid symbols
busy_beaver('A', 0, 1, right, 'B').
busy_beaver('A', 1, 1, left, 'C').
busy_beaver('B', 0, 1, left, 'A').
busy_beaver('B', 1, 1, right, 'B').
busy_beaver('C', 0, 1, left, 'B').
busy_beaver('C', 1, 1, stay, 'HALT').
turing(busy_beaver_config, busy_beaver, [], TapeOut).
```
This will, on execution, fill TapeOut with [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1].

## REXX
Programming notes: the tape is essentially infinite in two directions, but the tape starts at location one (unity), and
may extend to -'''∞''' and +'''∞''' (subject to virtual memory limitations), something short of ≈ 2 billion bytes.
Minimal error checking is done, but if no rule is found to be applicable, an appropriate error message is issued.

An input file consists of the following:
a) The first line contains an integer specifying the number of iterations to execute the machine.
b) The second line specifies the initial tape of the machine.
c) The third line contains an integer specifying the initial position of the head of the machine.
d) The fourth line specifies the initial m-config of the machine.
e) The remaining lines contain the rules of the machine or a comment, one on each line. Blank lines are ignored.
i. A line is specified to be a comment if it starts with two forward slashes (//).
Every rule consists of four parts separated by a pipe (|):
a) The first part is the name of the m-config declaration.
b) The second part is the specification of the scanned symbols. This is a, possibly empty, list of symbols, variable names, and keywords.
c) The third part is the specification of the actions to perform. This is a, possibly empty, list of print commands, erase commands, and move commands.
d) The fourth part specifies the target m-config.

## Standard ML
In this implementation, tapes are represented like this:
- Either a tape is empty,
- the head points on a field where on the right and on the left hand side may be other symbols,
- the head may be n fields away (left or right) of the non-emty written area.
Each cell may be written (SOME) or blank (NONE). A written field may not be written blank again.
