Are explanations computers? They often have abstract inputs and abstract outputs for example. Like when using GR to compute the gravitational field given the position of a mass.

I read that as the specification of a state machine (not the specification of a state of such a machine), and it does make more sense to me. E.g. an explanation in a book doesn't "act differently" on "different inputs". & "understanding" performs other tasks like measurements too

A theory is generally just a single state. You may have to look at metatheories hat can generate theories on the fly.
