Part 4/10:
The Turing machine functions through an infinite strip of paper, known as the "tape," which stores information. A "head" traverses this tape, reading and writing data while moving left or right. In measuring time, each movement increments a time ticker, while memory space is logged only when new squares are read for the first time. Notably, once information is no longer needed, it can be overwritten—reusing space—but the time expended in processing cannot be restored.
Space Utilization in Computing
There exists a vital ratio between time and space: the potential space used by a program has historically been predicted to be less than its processing time. Nonetheless, many algorithms seemed to push these limitations as they stored considerable amounts of data during computation.
