In 1938, Alan Turing asked in his doctoral dissertation “Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals”:
“How can we go beyond Gödel’s incompleteness?”
To address this, he introduced two groundbreaking concepts:
This allows the system to handle problems of the form: (∀x)(∃y)R(x, y) —That is, “For all x, there exists a y such that the relation R holds.”
Bitcoin’s system validation structure is, in essence, a distributed implementation of “oracle behavior.”
Let’s define:
Bitcoin’s core decision problem becomes:(∀tx)(∃block)R(tx, block). In other words: any transaction must be included in a valid block to be considered “valid.”
This mirrors Turing’s notion of “relative completeness,” but implemented as an engineering arbitration mechanism in Bitcoin:Miners act as oracle invokers, using PoW to determine the longest chain; Consensus becomes logical judgment, where all transactions ultimately settle on the chain.
In other words: we can use Bitcoin’s UTXO data structure, but cannot use its consensus chain to arbitrate other applications.
We can construct a decentralized ecosystem like this:
UTXO --> BTC Transfer
--> BTC-Vote
--> BTC-ID
--> BTC-Copyright
They share UTXO state, but each has its own independent arbitration mechanism:
Each is a Turing-style decentralized arbitration device for solving a specific (∀x)(∃y)R(x,y) problem.
We call this structure:Parallel Oracle Turing Machine Systems —Each system solves its own version of the (∀x)(∃y)R(x,y) problem.
In the future, we can:
In 1938, Turing in his doctoral thesis “Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals”:
(∀x)(∃y)R(x, y)
Here, R is a recursively decidable relation. This structure represents an attempt to extend formal systems at the Q₂ (double quantifier) level.
Bitcoin’s core issue is the double-spending problem, whose logical structure aligns with Turing’s Q₂ model:
(∀tx)(∃block) R(tx, block)
Bitcoin’s miner system can be viewed as a “distributed oracle behavior system,” dynamically constructing and evolving the range of R.
Conclusion: UTXO is a universal state expression structure; Bitcoin’s PoW consensus mechanism can only arbitrate BTC transfers, and cannot be reused for other semantic applications.
Key Idea: Share Bitcoin’s UTXO structure, but establish independent, parallel decentralized arbitration systems for each application.
Structure:
Bitcoin’s consensus system is an engineering realization of Turing’s Q₂ logical structure, used to arbitrate BTC transfers. We, however, can build a series of independent decentralized arbitration systems based on UTXO sharing, each mapping to a new R(x, y), together forming a “Parallel Oracle Turing Machine Ecosystem” — providing diverse support for decentralized societal infrastructure.
