A mathematical concept is identified and analyzed that is implicit in the 2012 paper Turing Incomputable Computation, presented at the Alan Turing Centenary Conference (Turing 100, Manchester). The concept, called dynamic level sets, is distinct from mathematical concepts in the standard literature on dynamical systems, topology, and computability theory. A new mathematical object is explained and why it may have escaped prior characterizations, including the classical result of de Leeuw, Moore, Shannon, and Shapiro (1956) that probabilistic Turing machines compute no more than deterministic ones.
