          Abstract

          Resumen En 1936 Alan Turing propuso sus máquinas automáticas como modelo de la computación realizada por un ser humano asistido sólo con recursos mecánicos. Sin embargo, tanto termi- nológicamente como conceptualmente, habría más para decir acerca de la concepción de máquina en la obra de Turing. En el presente trabajo presentamos términos que, a nuestro entender, son relevantes para dar cuenta de las preocupaciones y prob- lemas que Turing abordó luego de la propuesta inicial de fines de los años treinta. En el uso de dichos términos trataremos de mostrar la ampliación o extensión de la noción de máquina en general a partir de la original de “máquina automática”. A su vez, identificamos en su obra una intención o actitud modeladora, en la que las máquinas se pueden usar como una forma de en- tender y explicar un fenómeno natural o abstracto.

          Abstract In 1936, Alan Turing proposed the notion of an automated machine as a model of the computation performed by a human being while only being aided by mechanical resources. Still, it seems that much more can be said about Turing’s own concep- tion of machines in the scope of his later work, both termino- logically and conceptually. In this paper we present the terms he used that refer to machines and that according to our under- standing are important to give an account of Turing’s concerns and the problems he tackled with after his first recourse to the notion of machine during the late nineteen-thirties. Exploring his usage of such terms we show how it is possible to see an enlargement or extension towards a general notion of machine from the very first automated machine. At the same time, we identify in his work a modelling attitude or stance in which ma- chines can be used as a way to understand and explain a natural or abstract phenomenon.
