Summary

Here is a 1-paragraph summary of the text: The concept of building a universal problem-solving machine inspired by Alan Turing's design for a universal computer, has been revisited in the context of modern technologies and concepts. A new approach considers a human problem-solver or programmer as the starting point, with actions aimed at solving specific problems, procedures with defined inputs and outputs, and an associated cost and duration of execution. The problem to be solved is defined by an initial context, target contexts, constraints (budget, timeframe, limited instructions), and a list of possible solutions. A graph database, Neo4j, and its query language Cypher are being used to describe these contexts and find sequences of actions or services that transform the initial context into one of the desired contexts, with the ultimate goal of creating an automated market of Cypher-annotated microservices.
