The field still faces some basic questions, technical (can we mathematically and/or physically build a hypercomputer?), cognitive (can hypercomputers realize the AI dream?), philosophical (is thinking more than computing?). The aim of this paper is to address the question: can we mathematically build a hypercomputer? We will discuss the solutions of the Infinite Merchant Problem, a decision problem equivalent to the Halting Problem, based on results obtained in \\cite{Coins,acp}. The accent will be on the new computational technique and results rather than formal proofs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2003-05-11T20:40:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "turing computability", "hypercomputer", "infinite merchant problem", "decision problem equivalent", "ai dream" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003quant.ph..4128A" } } }
