OK, so recall that Turing defined the TM because he was modeling the women at BP. So TM is model of humans... and keep going from there.

This is super interesting because I had not thought he had a human model in mind …

I thought he was aiming for some familiar mechanical system like telegraphy equipment … I should go and read the paper :-)

I'm fairly certain the whole idea of naming computers computers was after the women.

Oh yes, no question! I guess I was wondering more about where his mechanical model came from - not like manual computation, I think
