The oracle machine is initialized with the work tape containing some input with finitely many 1's and the rest of the tape blank, the oracle tape containing the characteristic function of the oracle, A, and the Turing machine in state q < sub > 0 </ sub > with read / write head reading the first nonblank cell of the work tape, and oracle head reading the cell of the oracle tape which corresponds to.

Turing machines can compute functions as follows: if f is a function that takes natural numbers to natural numbers, M < sup > A </ sup > is a Turing machine with oracle A, and whenever M < sup > A </ sup > is initialized with the work tape consisting of n + 1 consecutive 1's ( and blank elsewhere ) M < sup > A </ sup > eventually halts with f ( n ) 1's on the tape, then M < sup > A </ sup > is said to compute the function f. A similar definition can be made for functions of more than one variable, or partial functions.

Here, the internal state ( q < sub > 1 </ sub >) is shown inside the head, and the illustration describes the tape as being infinite and pre-filled with " 0 ", the symbol serving as blank.
