Physical implementations of Turing Machines remain rare, and existing electromechanical demonstrators and mechanical logic games typically require manual operator intervention, either to trigger each computational step or to reconfigure the state table, or both. This restricts prior physical models to short, operator-paced demonstrations and prevents autonomous execution of extended computations. This paper addresses that gap with a hardware Turing Machine that enables autonomous multi-step execution and reprogrammable optical input without manual intervention between programs.
