Infinite Time Turing Machines and their Applications

Exploring the Future of AI: A New Computational Paradigm

Artificial intelligence today is dominated by massive, resource-hungry models that demand centralized infrastructure and costly computing power. These systems, while powerful, are inefficient, opaque, and increasingly difficult to scale. The Universal State Machine (USM) presents a radically different approach— one that reimagines AI as efficient, interpretable, and decentralized.

Our whitepaper details the theoretical foundations behind the USM, starting from classical computation, extending into Infinite Time Turing Machines (ITTMs), and culminating in a new AI framework that eliminates the bottlenecks of deep learning. It explores how USM moves beyond the brute-force scaling of neural networks, leveraging a computationally queryable knowledge graph for real-time adaptation and structured intelligence. By breaking away from the rigid, pre-trained architectures of today’s AI, the USM offers a scalable, cost-effective, and privacy-preserving path forward.

Background expertise

Maxwell Braun graduated with a BA in Political Economy from the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. He then began his career in Financial Services with UBS, acting as a technology liaison and helping drive AML efforts. While at UBS, he obtained his FINRA Series 7 and Series 66 licenses. Max then went on to become a Senior Financial Analyst at BNY Mellon in Seattle, where he refined KYC compliance protocols and become West Coast Associate of the Year in 2022. Max grew up in Piedmont, CA.

Background expertise

Rukmal Weerawarana graduated with a BBA in Finance and Business Economics from the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington.

In College, he contributed to various research projects, including targeted drug design for HIV patients, a CubeSat that is currently in orbit, and one of the world’s first functioning Hyperloop Systems.

As a Graduate Student at the Stevens Institute of Technology and a Research Fellow at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, he worked on ranking in knowledge graphs, and designing algorithms for processing sensorimotor data for BCI-driven robotic prosthetics.

After graduating with an MS in Financial Engineering from Stevens, Rukmal became a Software Engineer at ExtraHop Networks in Seattle. There, he worked with Big Data systems to develop cybersecurity algorithms and machine learning cloud infrastructure. He then contributed to kickstarting a (non-profit) technology-enabled school in Sri Lanka and was the Lead Data Scientist at Capitol AI in New York City in early 2023.

Rukmal is from Colombo, Sri Lanka.
