1. The Turing machine was initially a theoretical success but physically impossible to build at the time. Dynamic geometry likewise has a self-consistent, rigorous mathematical theory, yet its numerical/computational costs are very large.
2. The Turing machine is a “finite-state machine” acting on an “infinite tape.” Dynamic geometry is an abstraction that uses “finite parameters” to represent an “infinite-dimensional” space. Both involve a move from the finite to the infinite.
The Turing machine later became the theoretical foundation of the von Neumann architecture (the universal computer). Dynamic geometry needs an equivalent von Neumann — an architecture for AGI.
This is the direction I am working toward: to realize a “von Neumann” moment for AI. When that moment arrives, the Turing Award will be virtually guaranteed.
If the Turing machine made machines computable, then dynamic geometry makes intelligence computable. AGI would no longer be a qualitative or philosophical claim made by leading figures, it would be something that can be defined and computed mathematically.
