Abstract

This paper shows some of the differences and similarities between computation and hypercomputation, the similarities relating to the complexity of propositional computation and the differences being the propositions that can be decided computationally or hypercomputationally. The methods used are ordinal Turing machines with infinitely long programs and diagonalization out of computing complexity classes. The main results are the characterization of inequalities of run time complexities of serial, indeterministic serial and parallel computers and hypercomputers and the specification of a hierarchy of hypercomputers that can hypercompute the truths of all propositions in the standard class model of set theory, the von Neumann hierarchy of pure sets.
