Consider this. Just as you have an infinite tape for 'memory' in a Turing machine for recording states, Architecture exists in infinite states. Just as you change the states on the tape of a Turing machine with program instructions, you change the states of Architecture with design interventions. A Turing machine halts when a solution is found that has been specified, or the program instructions call for the process to be halted. In architectural evolution the process is 'halted' perceptually at the end of each design intervention, or when a design solution has been found. The process of architectural evolution progresses as a Turing machine computation, with its constant transformation of architectural states. The crucial part of the evolution is the 'instruction set' that is embedded in the design interventions that specify how to change the architectural states and the intersubjective consensus for when the evolution has to be 'halted' perceptually to achieve the closure of a solution.
