It seems meta3 is a very basic implementation of the lambda calculus. But I believe the equivalence of Turing machines and the lambda calculus is proven. The church Turing thesis is a bit more. My understanding is that it conjectures that there is nothing that can be computed that can't be computed by a Turing machine or the lambda calculus. So nothing more powerful than the lambda calculus exists. I'm not sure this article shows that.
