It is defined the Abstract Machine that may be taken as the logical 'ideal clerk'. It can be defined the Turing Machine that may be visualised as the ideally stated procedure performing a computation.
The Computer is the approach that is the embodiment of the Abstract Machine and is the formal 'ideal clerk' - a set of no and yeses. 'Computer' is not in fact mechanical and is the ordered 'ideal clerk' that can be made in many ways. 'Computer' here is taken to be defined the Turing Machine that may be taken as the formalized table of instructions. It is defined the Turing Machine that may be visualised as the abstract table of instructions and is now networked. It is defined the Universal Machine that may be supposed the logical approach. The Computer is thus defined the Universal Machine that may be visualised as the formal set of rules and is now networked.
