I’m sorry but no. Maybe it’s my ignorance of TM’s, but O(log n) doesn’t read all input by definition. It doesn’t follow that it is therefore _independent_ of the input size.

What makes a/your TM special that this is the case?

I don’t mean to take too much of your time though, maybe I’m too dumb for this.

Edit: I can sort of see how O(log n) is impossible or at least O(n) in a TM, but to reduce it to O(1) makes no sense to me
