A UNIVERSAL TURING MACHINE

 AS  A  SELF-PORTRAIT 

A Universal Turing Machine (UTM) is a logical procedure that can be written  in  algorithmic formats.  Such an algorithm  embodies the ancestral  circuit logic imbedded in general computers like PC's and smart phones. Viewing such an algorithm may be likened to viewing a self protrait of the machine displaying  it. The version shown here, based on Fibonacci numbering, was  written by Steven Gunhouse to complement Alan Turing's interest in the Fibonacci sequence.
