One of the things about Turing-completeness is that it is very easy to become accidentally Turing-complete, since the conditions you need for completeness are very weak. (Famously, C++ template instantiation is unintentionally Turing-complete). Z3 is an example of an accidentally Turing-complete machine. | ||||||||

With the important exception of "infinite tape". That always gets forgotten. | ||||||||

> Z3 is an example of an accidentally Turing-complete machine. Kind of easy to let that pass though, given the "imitation game" wasn't even introduced by Turing until way after the Z3 machine was completed. | ||||||||
