One approach---in the post---is to interpret a program as a scoring measure, and the "question" is to find an input that scores well.
I don't really care if you use that particular UTM, or some other UTM, or some other programming language, or a tractable mathematical definition, because they are all the same modulo the constant effort required to translate (which seems to be within human reach, if only barely, at this point).
