My thought is the left track should start the Turing machine, which is more of an infinite sum joke than the halting problem necessarily? Or the halting problem bit is a sort of tangential pun. The right should just be an infinite track with a person at the end.
Edit: I suppose the infinite sum/halting problem are better described as two sides of the same coin than tangential.
Yep, my brain also jammed trying to understand what is meant here. Even though I got a degree in theoretical CS…
