Turing is like robotic surgery

John C Lucas

When i was turning the other day and was watching the shape evolve i realized that my hands work the tool its very much like Doctors watching a monitor and moving the tools from.a remote.location. As i watch the tip.of the tool or i watch the shape, Im moving my hands based on what i see and its almost as if my mind is directing my hands remotely. I dont really think how much to move my hands I simply think the tool needs to take.off just a little more bere or there and my hands simply do it.k
