    Supports→A function is feasibly computable if and only if it is computed by some machine whose time complexity is in O(n^k) for fixed k, drawn from a reasonable model of computation (Cobham-Edmonds Thesis, CET).

    Several machine-independent characterizations of FP exist, testifying to the robustness of polynomial time computability.

    In particular, a RAM machine \(A\) consists of a finite sequence of instructions (or program) \(\langle \pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n \rangle\) expressing how numerical operations (typically addition and subtraction) are to be applied to a sequence of registers \(r_1,r_2, \dots\) in which values may be stored and retrieved directly by their index. Showing that one of these models \(\mathfrak{M}_1\) determines the same class of functions as some reference model \(\mathfrak{M}_2\) (such as \(\mathfrak{T}\))
