Comment on Is my cat Turing-complete?

Comments

It's apparent that the author of this article has independently discovered the field of Catputation. However, this field has a long and rich hissssstory, which I'll try to summarize as time allows (or until I'm bored or see something shiny).

FIRST: The great potential for Catputation has been recognized since pre-hisssstory, by the early innovators known as Egyptians who awed at the great possibilities and awww'd at the great paws-abilities.

In those days, Catputers were primarily used to perform primitive functions, such as alerting household members of impending dawn (known to those in the field as "the early-morning zooomies") and high-frequency generation before electronic-oscillators were discovered (known to those in the field as "ddawww, the widdle kittdy is purrrring!").

Unfortunately, Catputation was limited in those days to largely clumsy, analog tasks. For example, Catputers had difficulty playing nicely with some peripheral systems, e.g. mice. It wasn't until much later that [the first digital-logic gate was invented, allegedly by Isaac Newton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_door#History), paving the way for more advanced systems.

However, as we all know today, cats are fundamentally clawtum-mechanical creatures.

Early on in clawtum-mechanical discovery, [Bose and Einstein were studying Dogputation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose%E2%80%93Einstein_statisti...). Dogputers have quanta which can share the same space, [forming a stack](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dogpile) (known to those versed in the art as "dawwwww, look at dey widdle puppehs!"). This would later lead to [online-enthusiasts stockpiling Dogputation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogecoin).

However, in trying to form a stack for Catputation, Pauli made two simultaneous, serendipitous discoveries. First, they discovered that [kitties shouldn't be stacked up in the same place](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_exclusion_principle). And secondly, that violating this newly-discovered rule can result in many little bytes forming a larger unit (a kill-0-byte). Together, these discoveries led to [an initial theory of clawtum-Catputation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi%E2%80%93Dirac_statistics).

Progressing forward, optical computing became all the rage, and it was discovered that [optical-signaling interconnects were effective in facilitating high-speed Catputation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLagODygcbs).

There's more hisssstory to be told, though that's it for now!
