Anti-alias tank

Anti-alias tank is a language which is somehow both Turing-complete and not Turing-complete, this involving no randomness whatsoever.

ok fine
- so there is a singular AT&T. The AT&T contains all the knowledge in the world. It knows all.
- But careful! there is a secret meter which increases by 1% every unholy command. If you have 100% on the bar, god comes and pulverizes the script in his glory.
But WHAT makes it turing complete?
the AT&T duh
- you can get partial access to solve a specific problem, but that isn't turing complete because it is prohibited by AT&T Testament 40 from grabbing any infinite loop.
- you can get full access, but it takes 100 initialization commands. it can grab any infinite loop, unlike partial access, and infinite loops are the only thing that didn't let anti-alias tank be Turing-complete.
But WHAT makes it NOT turing complete?
- first of all, the AT&T initialization commands are unholy
- second of all, since it takes 100 of them, it fills the secret meter and god comes and pulverizes the script, therefore not letting it process the information and HALTING THE PROGRAM.
But what STILL makes it turing complete?
- AT&T commands' default mode is holy.
- There is nothing saying that the initialization commands are a specific exception to this.
But what still makes it NOT turing complete?
- Exceptions can be implicit
- It crashes if god doesn't come if a command is supposed to be unholy but actually is holy
