Burton Rosenberg April 25, 2015 Gloss of diagrams, for a turing machine to read from a name-value datastore. There are two tapes, D, T. D contains name values pairs written over some alphabet S, each word delimited by the reserved blank symbol, _, and the ends of the taped marked with some reserved symbol #. The transfer tape T starts with a name, which is replaced by the associated value as paired in D. The following compound states are defined: X1: given head over blanks on D and T tapes, compares the next word for equality. exits to one of two states depending on equality or inequality. leaves head over blanks in D and T tapes after the compared words. X2: given head over blank on the D tape, moves head R over next word to next blank. X3: given head over blank on T tape, moves head L over previous word to previous blank. X4: given head over blanks on D and T tapes, compares repeatedly the names for equality leaves heads over the blanks following the matched names X5: given head over blank at end of T tape, erases tape and leaves head over first cell of tape X6: given heads over blanks on D and T tapes, copies next word on D tape to T tape leaving heads at the blank follow the word X7: moves head Left to start of D tape R: given head over # on D tape, over _ on T tape, finds match of names and replaces name on T tape with found value Data format: D tape is: #_((S+)_(S+))*_# where first S+ is name, second S+ is value T tape is: _(S+)_ before, and _(S+)_ Assumes name given by T before is paired in dictionary D with a value (i.e. matching name is found in dictionary). The arrows are coded as: Da -> Db,DL if tape D as a, replace by b and move D head left Da,Tb -> Dc,Td,DL,TR if tape D has a AND tape T has b, replace a by c, b by d, move tape D head left, and tape T head right DTb -> DTR short for Db,Tb -> DR, TR
