Of course, anything more complicated than a non-programmable calculator
can be considered to be a Turing machine (sometimes, with bounded memory
capacity).
However, it would be as useful as saying that every computer program is
a function transforming an input (such as a series of events in a GUI

s/numer of states/memory/ of course. I did get it right closer to the
end of my post.
Sorry for the slip.

Since a Turing machine has an infinite amount of memory,

A Turing machine is a theoretical construct, I thought the

I mean FSMs which might grow a new state, remove a state, add/subtract
transitions by means of meta-rules.
Given the research demonstrating the plasticity of the brain, such
