The Computational Model
Captions available
The idea
A computational model is a system defining what an algorithm does and how to run it — a physical device, a programming language, or a design specification can each serve.
In practice
A phone, the language its apps use, and the paper design behind both all qualify.
Where people slip
One algorithm, many models to carry it.
