Let phi_i be an enumeration of the (partial) computable function.

u is universal if phi_u(x, y) = phi_x(y).   (x,y) = some number  code for the

So can y be some number code for a pair (a,b) and b a code for a pair (c,d),...?

So phi_u is able to compute phi_i for all i. In that case we say that u emulate 
x on y.

u can emulate itself, as in phi_u(u, x) = phi_u(x), but u does not emulate itself per se, by its own functioning.
