    Arguments against the thesis: The thesis is, in its present form, unprovable. The class of Turing Complete systems is open. It is defined on the basis of the existence of equivalence relations between known systems. In this sense it does not define the notion of computing intrinsically. It doesn’t not provide us with a philosophical theory that defines what computing exactly is. Consequently it does not allow us to exclude any system from the class a priori. At any time a proposal for a notion o
