===Finite Approximations===
    
To see how each finite approximation to a given turing machine can be given a purely propositional description, one fixes the parameter <math>k\!</math> and limits the rest of the discussion to describing <math>\operatorname{Stilt}(k),</math> which is not really a full-fledged TM anymore but just a finite automaton in disguise.

Given but a single free square on the tape, there are just two different sets of initial conditions for <math>\operatorname{Stunt}(2),</math> the finite approximation to the parity turing machine that we are presently considering.

===Propositional Program===
    
A complete description of <math>\operatorname{Stunt}(2)</math> in propositional form is obtained by conjoining one of the above choices for initial conditions with all of the following sets of propositions, that serve in effect as a simple type of ''declarative program'', telling us all that we need to know about the anatomy and behavior of the truncated TM in question.
