Construction of a simplified self-printing (quine) Turing machine program with the possibility of printing any other program
This paper presents a significantly simplified and near-optimal self-printing (quine) Turing machine program that not only reproduces its own code from a blank tape but can also print any other program, thereby advancing theoretical models of self-replication and artificial life.
