I think this language is close-to-equivalent to FRACTRAN; the primary differences are that the instruction pointer increases after every command (rather than returning to the start after a division, like in FRACTRAN), and that the denominators have to be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. in order (as opposed to FRACTRAN where they can be arbitrary). I'm not surprised that it's Turing-complete, because these differences don't seem likely to be enough to change the computational class (especially as you can set the numerator equal to the denominator to lead to a skipped fraction). --ais523 06:35, 20 August 2026 (UTC)c
