With CTM, we aren't just talking about computational systems (we have that other thing..the mind bit...to explain), which, taken as a group have attributes that any given representative may not have. So, for example, while we can demonstrate that your statement is true with reference to comp systems made of digital components - the (truly) universal machine, it may not hold with reference to comp systems made of biological components. What is true of the whole may not be true of the part.
I'd say, by reference to computation alone, yes - that could be possible- there are some implementations of logic with which that could be achieved(as digital, above)..that doesn't mean that -all- comp systems can do that, or, specifically, that ours can (or is arranged thusly).
/w Comp Mind, btw, they are the same kind of processing with distinct implementations. Comp Mind, in a nutshell, is this: Neuron is to transistor what transistor is to tube.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
