Oct 1, 2010 at 4:39 comment added Kurt I'm sure anyone responding to this question will recognize this, but to clarify things for the casual viewer, it is not the lexicographic ordering that is being referred to but rather a prefix ordering: $x \preceq y$ iff $x$ is an initial segment of $y$. EDIT: After rereading Li & Vitanyi's monotone machine definition (I'm looking at the 2nd edition), it seems like they misspoke and described a prefix machine instead of a monotone machine. I suspect they mean to say that M(x) = y if y is what has been output just before the next input tape symbol is read.
