\maketitle


\begin{abstract}
Isabelle/HOL is an interactive theorem prover based on classical 
logic. While classical reasoning allow users to take convenient 
shortcuts in some proofs, it precludes \emph{direct} reasoning about 
decidability: every boolean predicate is either true or false
because of the law of excluded middle. The only way to reason
about decidability in a classical theorem prover, like Isabelle/HOL,
is to formalise a concrete model for computation. In this paper
we formalise Turing machines and relate them to register machines.
