Building a computer out of fluids: simulating OpenAI's Navier–Stokes Turing machine
kfountou · x · 2026-10-08
The author is attempting to simulate 'Result 376' from OpenAI, an explicit construction showing how to apply forces to a fluid so a fluid particle's motion simulates an arbitrary Turing machine while satisfying the Navier–Stokes equations. He explains why his visualization forgoes slick fluid graphics: at such small scales, any beautification would compromise faithfulness to the mathematical construction.
