A Turing-complete system is a system that can compute every computable function. A Turing-complete system can be used to simulate any Turing machine or other Turing-complete systems.
The halting problem is uncomputable on any Turing-complete system.
To be Turing-complete, a system must be able to store unbounded memory and have access to the memory. There must be also infinitely many different non-halting programs (like "while" loops or recursion).
