Abstract

A. M. Turing has bequeathed us a conceptulary including ‘Turing, or Turing-Church, thesis’, ‘Turing machine’, ‘universal Turing machine’, ‘Turing test’ and ‘Turing structures’, plus other unnamed achievements. These include a proof that any formal language adequate to express arithmetic contains undecidable formulas, as well as achievements in computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematics, biology, and cognitive science. Here it is argued that these achievements hang together and have prospered well in the 50 years since Turing's death.
