<p>A system granted knowledge of the uncomputable, oracular <a href="Chaitin's_constant" title="Chaitin's constant">Chaitin's constant</a> (a number with an infinite sequence of digits that encode the solution to the halting problem) as an input can solve a large number of useful undecidable problems; a system granted an uncomputable random-number generator as an input can create random uncomputable functions, but is generally not believed to be able to meaningfully solve "useful" uncomputable functions such as the halting problem. There are an unlimited number of different types of conceivable hypercomputers, including:
</p>
<ul><li>Turing's original oracle machines, defined by Turing in 1939.</li>
<li>A <a href="Real_computer" class="mw-redirect" title="Real computer">real computer</a> (a sort of idealized <a href="Analog_computer" title="Analog computer">analog computer</a>) can perform hypercomputation<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> if physics admits general <a href="Real_number" title="Real number">real</a> variables (not just <a href="Computable_number" title="Computable number">computable reals</a>), and these are in some way "harnessable" for useful (rather than random) computation. This might require quite bizarre laws of physics (for example, a measurable <a href="Physical_constant" title="Physical constant">physical constant</a> with an oracular value, such as <a href="Chaitin's_constant" title="Chaitin's constant">Chaitin's constant</a>), and would require the ability to measure the real-valued physical value to arbitrary precision, though standard physics makes such arbitrary-precision measurements theoretically infeasible.<sup id="cite_ref-HodgesSCIAM_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-HodgesSCIAM-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
<ul><li>Similarly, a neural net that somehow had Chaitin's constant exactly embedded in its weight function would be able to solve the halting problem,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but is subject to the same physical difficulties as other models of hypercomputation based on real computation.</li></ul></li>
<li>Certain <a href="Fuzzy_logic" title="Fuzzy logic">fuzzy logic</a>-based "fuzzy Turing machines" can, by definition, accidentally solve the halting problem, but only because their ability to solve the halting problem is indirectly assumed in the specification of the machine; this tends to be viewed as a "bug" in the original specification of the machines.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ClassicalFuzzy_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ClassicalFuzzy-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
<ul><li>Similarly, a proposed model known as <a href="Fair_nondeterminism" class="mw-redirect" title="Fair nondeterminism">fair nondeterminism</a> can accidentally allow the oracular computation of noncomputable functions, because some such systems, by definition, have the oracular ability to identify and reject inputs that would "unfairly" cause a subsystem to run forever.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul></li>
<li>Dmytro Taranovsky has proposed a <a href="Finitism" title="Finitism">finitistic</a> model of traditionally non-finitistic branches of analysis, built around a Turing machine equipped with a rapidly increasing function as its oracle. By this and more complicated models he was able to give an interpretation of second-order arithmetic. These models require an uncomputable input, such as a physical event-generating process where the interval between events grows at an uncomputably large rate.<sup id="cite_ref-Taranovsky_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Taranovsky-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
<ul><li>Similarly, one unorthodox interpretation of a model of <a href="Unbounded_nondeterminism" title="Unbounded nondeterminism">unbounded nondeterminism</a> posits, by definition, that the length of time required for an "Actor" to settle is fundamentally unknowable, and therefore it cannot be proven, within the model, that it does not take an uncomputably long period of time.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul></li></ul>

<p>In order to work correctly, certain computations by the machines below literally require infinite, rather than merely unlimited but finite, physical space and resources; in contrast, with a Turing machine, any given computation that halts will require only finite physical space and resources.
</p><p>A Turing machine that can <i>complete</i> infinitely many steps in finite time, a feat known as a <a href="Supertask" title="Supertask">supertask</a>. Simply being able to run for an unbounded number of steps does not suffice. One mathematical model is the <a href="Zeno_machine" title="Zeno machine">Zeno machine</a> (inspired by <a href="Zeno's_paradox" class="mw-redirect" title="Zeno's paradox">Zeno's paradox</a>). The Zeno machine performs its first computation step in (say) 1 minute, the second step in ½ minute, the third step in ¼ minute, etc. By summing <a href="1/2_%2B_1/4_%2B_1/8_%2B_1/16_%2B_%E2%8B%AF" title="1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ⋯">1 + ½ + ¼ + ...</a> (a <a href="Geometric_series" title="Geometric series">geometric series</a>) we see that the machine performs infinitely many steps in a total of 2 minutes. According to <a href="Oron_Shagrir" title="Oron Shagrir">Oron Shagrir</a>, Zeno machines introduce physical paradoxes and its state is logically undefined outside of one-side open period of [0, 2), thus undefined exactly at 2 minutes after beginning of the computation.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>It seems natural that the possibility of time travel (existence of <a href="Closed_timelike_curve" title="Closed timelike curve">closed timelike curves</a> (CTCs)) makes hypercomputation possible by itself. However, this is not so since a CTC does not provide (by itself) the unbounded amount of storage that an infinite computation would require.

<p>Some physically realizable systems will always eventually converge to the correct answer, but have the defect that they will often output an incorrect answer and stick with the incorrect answer for an uncomputably large period of time before eventually going back and correcting the mistake.
</p><p>In mid 1960s, <a href="E_Mark_Gold" class="mw-redirect" title="E Mark Gold">E Mark Gold</a> and <a href="Hilary_Putnam" title="Hilary Putnam">Hilary Putnam</a> independently proposed models of <a href="Inductive_inference" class="mw-redirect" title="Inductive inference">inductive inference</a> (the "limiting recursive functionals"<sup id="cite_ref-LimRecurs_23-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LimRecurs-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and "trial-and-error predicates",<sup id="cite_ref-TrialError_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TrialError-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> respectively). These models enable some nonrecursive sets of numbers or languages (including all <a href="Recursively_enumerable" class="mw-redirect" title="Recursively enumerable">recursively enumerable</a> sets of languages) to be "learned in the limit"; whereas, by definition, only recursive sets of numbers or languages could be identified by a Turing machine. While the machine will stabilize to the correct answer on any learnable set in some finite time, it can only identify it as correct if it is recursive; otherwise, the correctness is established only by running the machine forever and noting that it never revises its answer. Putnam identified this new interpretation as the class of "empirical" predicates, stating: "if we always 'posit' that the most recently generated answer is correct, we will make a finite number of mistakes, but we will eventually get the correct answer. (Note, however, that even if we have gotten to the correct answer (the end of the finite sequence) we are never <i>sure</i> that we have the correct answer.)"<sup id="cite_ref-TrialError_24-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TrialError-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> L. K. Schubert's 1974 paper "Iterated Limiting Recursion and the Program Minimization Problem"<sup id="cite_ref-IterLimRec_25-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-IterLimRec-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> studied the effects of iterating the limiting procedure; this allows any <a href="Arithmetic_hierarchy" class="mw-redirect" title="Arithmetic hierarchy">arithmetic</a> predicate to be computed. Schubert wrote, "Intuitively, iterated limiting identification might be regarded as higher-order inductive inference performed collectively by an ever-growing community of lower order inductive inference machines."
</p><p>A symbol sequence is <i>computable in the limit</i> if there is a finite, possibly non-halting program on a <a href="Universal_Turing_machine" title="Universal Turing machine">universal Turing machine</a> that incrementally outputs every symbol of the sequence. This includes the dyadic expansion of π and of every other <a href="Computable_real" class="mw-redirect" title="Computable real">computable real</a>, but still excludes all noncomputable reals. The 'Monotone Turing machines' traditionally used in <a href="Minimum_description_length" title="Minimum description length">description size</a> theory cannot edit their previous outputs; generalized Turing machines, as defined by <a href="J%C3%BCrgen_Schmidhuber" title="Jürgen Schmidhuber">Jürgen Schmidhuber</a>, can. He defines the constructively describable symbol sequences as those that have a finite, non-halting program running on a generalized Turing machine, such that any output symbol eventually converges; that is, it does not change any more after some finite initial time interval. Due to limitations first exhibited by <a href="Kurt_G%C3%B6del" title="Kurt Gödel">Kurt Gödel</a> (1931), it may be impossible to predict the convergence time itself by a halting program, otherwise the <a href="Halting_problem" title="Halting problem">halting problem</a> could be solved. Schmidhuber (<sup id="cite_ref-genTuring2000_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-genTuring2000-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-GenKolm_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GenKolm-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) uses this approach to define the set of formally describable or constructively computable universes or constructive <a href="Theory_of_everything" title="Theory of everything">theories of everything</a>. Generalized Turing machines can eventually converge to a correct solution of the halting problem by evaluating a <a href="Specker_sequence" title="Specker sequence">Specker sequence</a>.

refers to this subject as "a myth" and offers counter-arguments to the
physical realizability of hypercomputation. As for its theory, he argues against
the claims that this is a new field founded in the 1990s. This point of view relies
on the history of <a href="Computability_theory" title="Computability theory">computability theory</a> (degrees of unsolvability, computability over
functions, real numbers and ordinals), as also mentioned above.
In his argument, he makes a remark that all of hypercomputation is little more than: "<i>if non-computable inputs are permitted, then non-computable outputs are attainable.</i>"<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
