| | New Scientist: The Omega Man |
| | As a computer scientist, she wondered whether there were links between Omega, the higher-order Omegas and real computers. | | | Zoologists think there might be something new swinging from branch to branch in the unexplored forests of Madagascar, and mathematicians have hunches about which part of the mathematical landscape to explore. | | | Real computers don't just perform finite computations, doing one or a few things, and then halt. |
