A Turing Machine is known in the computing field as a machine that qualifies as a computer under a specific set of conditions. Devices can be considered "Turing complete" if they fill these criteria.

The device does not necessarily have to be intentionally designed to compute or be a computer; if a device, piece of software or even an abstract concept meets the criteria it is considered a Turing machine.
