Is there a Turing-complete programming language for pen and paper?
Let’s say you wanted to use the mind as a calculator, and pen and paper as memory/registers/storage. Is there a programming language that works with pen and paper?

Check out lambda calculus—it was created by Turing’s doctoral advisor in 1936, and thus predates real-world programming languages.
