So can anybody tell me in a way one can understand it what a fucking turing machine does?

That's a ZX Spectrum, actually.

It fucks and tures.

It is used for touring, since it is a Touring machine.

I still don't understand.
Please explain.

Turing machines are basic abstract symbol-manipulating devices which, despite their simplicity, can be adapted to simulate the logic of any computer algorithm. They were described in 1936 by Alan Turing. Turing machines are not intended as a practical computing technology, but a thought experiment about the limits of mechanical computation. Thus they were not actually constructed. Studying their abstract properties yields many insights into computer science and complexity theory.

A touring machine is a hypothetical machine that can compute any computable function.

And when a language can emulate such a machine, it is Touring complete.

No real machine can fully emulate a true Turing machine.

What about the Turing Machine? Can it emulate a Turing Machine?

Forget it, it's Turing complete.

Yes, if it is a Universal Turing Machine

That's nuts. So could you have turing machines emulating turing machines which in turn emulates more turing machines?

In theory, yes.

But why would you want to do that?

So that each of your clients can have its own Virtual Turing Machine (VTM) and is free to administer and crash it as they see fit.

Wouldn't it be freaky if we were all being emulated by some higher level Turing Machine, and the purpose of life is to wait until our tape runs out.

what kind of torturing machine you are interested in?

Why don't you take I^{N^{T^{R^O}}} to C^S T^{H^{E^{O^{R^Y}}}}
