Primitive Recursive Functions

Famous quotes containing the words primitive and/or functions:

“The most primitive places left with us are the swamps, where the spruce still grows shaggy with usnea.”

“Mark the babe
Not long accustomed to this breathing world;
One that hath barely learned to shape a smile,
Though yet irrational of soul, to grasp
With tiny finger—to let fall a tear;
And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves,
To stretch his limbs, bemocking, as might seem,
The outward functions of intelligent man.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
