I gathered from somewhere (but not the index to Andrew 
Hodges' biography) that Turing was toying with an idea for 
"oracles", where a computation would be allowed to call out 
sometimes to a non-computational process to obtain some 
required result.  Used maybe by  interactive debugging programs.

         Cheers,        Mel.
