Jul 18, 2017 at 10:20 comment added Joel David Hamkins I've realized a way to make sense of your idea of computing a function with nonstandard help, and in this case, we can determine which are the functions that are computable with nonstandard help.

Jul 17, 2017 at 17:49 comment added Christopher King @JoelDavidHamkins sorry, I think I formulated this question really badly. I'm doing to delete it and try again when I get more sleep.
Jul 17, 2017 at 17:33 comment added Joel David Hamkins I'm sorry, but I just don't know what you mean by giving a Turing machine a nonstandard number as input. There are a variety of different incompatible things that I can imagine you might mean; but without further explanation, it doesn't make sense by itself.
Jul 17, 2017 at 17:24 comment added Christopher King @JoelDavidHamkins you don't get to pick which one. It's arbitrary (in particular, it must give the same result for every nonstandard integer you supply it).

Jul 17, 2017 at 15:15 comment added Joel David Hamkins If you intend to run a standard Turing machine program inside a nonstandard model of arithmetic or set theory, then basically any set can become computable. Indeed, there is a single (standard) program that can in principle compute any set, if run in the right universe. See jdh.hamkins.org/?s=universal+algorithm&submit=Search.
Jul 17, 2017 at 15:02 comment added Joel David Hamkins I don't understand the question. What does it mean to give a Turing machine a nonstandard number?
Jul 17, 2017 at 15:01 comment added 喻 良 It may halt before H but not halt in a standard number.
